Gregory Porter - Light At The End Of The Tunnel (From "Starlight Express")

Diesel is for unbelievers Electricity is wrong Steam has got the power to pull us along There's a light at the end of the tunnel There's a light at the end of the tunnel The inside might be as black as the night But there's a light at the end of the tunnel There's a light at the end of the tunnel The inside might be as black as the night But at the end of the tunnel there's a light, het It's the power of James Watt, the steaming Scot It's the power The man sho watched the pot and said Hey, I've got a brilliant plot, when the steam is hot It seems to make a lot of power It could turn a wheel Lots of power It could drive it down a track Clickety clack, clinkety clack It could drive it with a beat Choo-choo-choo With enough left over for a Whoo-whoo He saw the light at the end of the tunnel Oh, he saw the light at the end of the tunnel Yeah, he saw the light Thanks James Watt (thank you Mr Watt) For watching the pot He saw a light at the end of the tunnel, oh yes He saw a light at the end of the tunnel The inside might be s black as the night But at the end of the tunnel there's a light (there's a light) There are dark days ahead When the power goes dead When the oil runs dry What can we try? We could use the sunlight But it don't shine at night Nuclear fission leaves a nasty emission Soon the pistons will be humming Steam will have a second coming We see light (at the end of the tunnel) Oh, the light at the end of the tunnel (We see the light at the end of the tunnel) We see light, hey Just dig a hole and haul out the coal (We see the light at the end of the tunnel) Haul out the coal (We see the light at the end of the tunnel) Can't you see the light, children? (So let the water boil, goodbye to oil) (At the end of the tunnel there's a light) Oh yes We see the light at the end of the tunnel We see the light at the end of the tunnel When the Angel Gabriel blows his magic toot We see the light at the end of the tunnel We see the light at the end of the tunnel We see the distant glee that tells that it's steam At the end of the tunnel There's a light Oh oh oh oh
