Destination is a revelation,
Out of the station by the skin of our teeth,
The hammer's fallen, the conductor's calling,
No more stalling, moving ahead full steam,
All aboard, have we all been warned'
And if we ignore, we're damned from here to eternity,
So come on, on the quest, on the mystery express,
Better clear the aisles, grab a seat and your tickets please.

Come on take a ride, come on and take a ride,
Come take a ride on the mystery train,
Oh, the chariot of fire, in that final hour,
won't you take us from this world's slow stain'

And, oh, you know short lived ulterior loco-motives,
Like it or not, I cannot change that train of thought, no,
Yeah, this baby's burning, screaming down the track,
No, there ain't no turning; it ain't ever coming back,
Now's the time and the place,
It ain't a crime to want to leave this rat race,
Whistle's blown ' can you hear the sound'
Soon we'll be gone, blowing out of this c-c-c-crazy town.

Come on take a ride, come on and take a ride,
Come take a ride on the mystery train,
Oh, the chariot of fire, in that final hour,
Won't you take us from this world's slow stain'
Come on take a ride, come on and take a ride,
Come take a ride on the mystery train.

Mystery train.

Come on take a ride, come on and take a ride,
Come take a ride on the mystery train,
Oh, the chariot of fire, in that final hour,
Won't you take us from this world's slow stain'
Come on take a ride, come on and take a ride,
Come take a ride on the mystery train,
Oh, chariot of fire, enter the land of heart's desire,
Far away from that lady of pain,
Come on take a ride, come on and take a ride,
Come take a ride on the mystery train,
Oh, the chariot of fire, in that final hour,
Won't you take us from this world's slow stain'
Come on take a ride, come on and take a ride,
Come take a ride on the mystery train,
Oh, chariot of fire, enter the land of heart's desire,
Far away from that lady of pain.
