Lyrics Bruce Dickinson

Bruce Dickinson

Hell on Wheels

Devil's driving down the track

Helen's wheels, and they won't turn back

Engine racing down a one-way street

Speedo chasing that red-line heat

Into the blackness, into the night

Out of the tunnel, into the light

Red for danger, that's just for show

Climb aboard, come as you go

Hard to steer when the devil's driving

Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold

Hard to steer when the devil's driving

Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold

Too smart to come, she just arrived

Only gave her one, but she's using five...

Minutes of time in the usual place

If I was strapped in, you could sit on my place

The doors were locked, the windows sealed

Hitting me with the jack was the devil's deal

Blue light flashing as the lipstick smudged

Dived for cover in a tunnel of glove

Hard to steer when the devil's driving

Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold

Hard to steer when the devil's driving

Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold

Something's driving me - I don't know where

Something down in my cellar somewhere

No one waiting for me down the line

No one waiting for me this time - check it out

Hard to steer when the devil's driving

Hell on wheels, and the brakes won't hold

Hard to steer when the devil's driving

Hell on wheels, and the brakes won't hold

Knuckle down, stick shift, take it slow

Easy come means easy go

Lay off the gas, make it last

'cos under my hood she's blowing fast

Into the blackness, into the night

Out of the tunnel, into the light

Red for danger - just for show

Climb aboard, come as you go

Hard to steer when the devil's driving

Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold

Hard to steer when the devil's driving

Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold

Hard to steer, yes, it's hard to steer (lord)

Hard to steer when the devil's driving (c'mon)

Hard to steer, you know it's hard to steer

Hard to steer when the devil's driving
