Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Now I like taking off
Don't like burning out
Every time you turn it on
Makes me want to shout
We keep getting hotter
Moving way too fast
If we don't slow this fire down
We're not going to last

[Chorus 1]
Cool the engines
Red line's getting near
Cool the engines
Better take it out of gear

[Post-Chorus]
I'm no fool
I'm going to keep it cool
And take it day by day
(Cool the engines)
We won't know where we might go
Until we take it all the way

[Verse 2]
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
