Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Loaded like a freight train, flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain one more time tonight
[Verse 2]
(Lookout) Well, I'm a west coast struttin', one bad mother
Got a rattlesnake suitcase under my arm
Said, I'm a mean machine, been drinkin' gasoline
And you can make my motor hum
Well, I got one chance left in a nine live cat
I got a dog-eat-dog, sly smile
I got a Molotov cocktail with a match to go
I smoke my cigarette with style
And I can tell you, honey, you can make my money tonight
[Verse 3]
Wake up late, honey, put on your clothes
And take you credit car to a liquor store
Well, that's one for you, two for me
By tonight
[Verse 4]
I'll be loaded like a freight train, flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain one more time tonight
[Verse 5]
I'm on the nightrain, bottoms up
I'm on the nightrain, fill my cup
I'm on the nightrain, ready to crash and burn
I'll never learn
I'm on the nightrain, love that stuff
I'm on the nightrain, I can never get enough
I'm on the nightrain, never to return, no
[Verse 6]
Loaded like a freight train, flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain one more time tonight
[Verse 7]
I'm on the nightrain
I'm on the nightrain
I'm on the nightrain, ready to crash and burn
Nightrain
Ridin' the nightrain
I'm on the nightrain, never to return
Nightrain
Ridin' the nightrain
Ridin' the nightrain
I guess I, I guess, I guess, I guess I'll never learn
[Verse 8]
Loaded like a freight train, flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain one more time tonight
Ooh, loaded like a freight train, flyin' like an aeroplane
Feelin' like a space brain one more time tonight
