The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm coming from the north, east, south, to the west
I'm off before you know it and I know it's for the best
I'll be running you down in a cloud of bloody steam
I'm gonna eat you up, and I'll love it when you scream
I'm a loco with a motive and you'll ride with me tonight
Here's my bullet train, whoa! Now it's out of sight
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Your InterCity daddy tried to catch me in vain
You oiled me up so good, I can outrun all the pain
I know, that with this pace, I could be running off the track
A broken heart at every station longing for me to come back
Let a railcar run me down into pieces with a crack
I'll leave my baggage there where all the tunnels end in black
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
I'm a runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
I'm a runner of the railways
With a coal black heart, teeth grinding on grit
Veins are pumping oil, and my head is full of shit
I don't really care, if you get stuck out on the street
Everyone's a sucker for my first class seat
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
I'm a runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
I'm a runner of the railways
Runner of the railways
I'm a runner of the railways
I'm running
