Well I like takin' off
Don't like burnin' out
Every time you turn it on
Makes me want to shout

We keep getting hotter
Movin' way too fast
If we don't slow this fire down
We're not gonna last

Cool the engines
Red line's gettin' near
Cool the engines
Better take it out of gear

I'm no fool
Gonna keep it cool
Take it day by day
Cool the engines

We won't know where we might go
'Til we make it all the way
Oh
Yeah

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

Cool the engines
Slow this rocket down
Cool the engines
Why don't ya take a look around

I'm no fool
Gonna keep it cool
Take it day by day

Cool the engines
We won't know where we might go
'Til we make it all the way

Cool the engines
Cool the engines
Goin' over the line

Goin' off the dial
Runnin' out of time
And it's gettin' wild

Got flashin' lights
Goin' 'round and 'round
Until we get it right

Better cool it down
Better cool it down
Cool the engines

And now, we're on our way
No need to hurry just to get from day to day
And I, oooh, I know
We don't have to run that hard to get where we can go

Cool the engines
Cool the engines down
Cool the engines
Cool the engines down.
