[Verse 1: Joe Bouchard]
Riding the underground, swimming in sweat
A rumble above and below
Hey, cop, don't you know the heat's on alright
The hot summer day didn't quit for the night

[Chorus: Joe Bouchard]
1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight

[Post-Chorus: Joe Bouchard]
You caught me in a spell
Trying to leave, but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

[Verse 2: Joe Bouchard]
Blackened out eyes scratched on the wall
Stoned outlooks from the crowd
The king will not know, on the wall, it was said
The flash of his cards was sprayed with red

[Chorus: Joe Bouchard]
1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
[Post-Chorus: Joe Bouchard]
You caught me in a spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Joe Bouchard]
1277 express to...
1277 express to...

[Chorus: Joe Bouchard]
1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight

[Post-Chorus: Joe Bouchard]
You caught me in a spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn, yeah, burn!
Your eyes out, your eyes out

[Outro: Joe Bouchard]
Your eyes out!
Out! Out! Out! Out!
Out! Out! Out! Out!
