Now 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 -- I'm gonna keep it cool
And take it day by day
We won't know where we might go
Until we take it all the way
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
We won't know where we might go
'Til we take 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, 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
