[Verse 1]
Now I like taking off
Don't like burning out
Every time you turn it on
Makes me want to shout
We keep getting hotter
Moving way too fast
If we don't slow this fire down
We're not going to last
[Chorus 1]
Cool the engines
Red line's getting near
Cool the engines
Better take it out of gear
[Post-Chorus]
I'm no fool
I'm going to keep it cool
And take it day by day
(Cool the engines)
We won't know where we might go
Until we take it all the way
[Verse 2]
Take me for a ride
Take me all the way
Take me where I've never been
Someplace I can stay
Don't get yourself too hot
Don't get yourself too high
If we don't take it easy now
We can kiss it all goodbye
[Chorus 2]
Cool the engines
Slow this rocket down
Cool the engines
Why don't you take a look around
[Post-Chorus]
I'm no fool, going to keep it cool
Take it day by day
(Cool the engines)
We won't know where we might go
Until we take it all the way
Oh!
[Bridge]
(Cool the engines)
(Cool the engines)
Going over the line
(Cool the engines)
Going off the dial
Running out of time
(Cool the engines)
And it's getting wild
Got flashing lights
(Cool the engines)
Going round and round
Until we get it right
(Cool the engines)
Better cool it down
Better cool it down
Cool the engines
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
And now, we're on our way
No need to hurry just to get from day to day
And I, ooh, I know
We don't have to run that hard to get where we can go
[Outro]
Cool the engines
(Ahh)
Cool the engines down
Cool the engines
(Oo-ooh)
Cool the engines down
(Oo-oo-ooh)
