Blue Oyster Cult - Hot Rails To Hell Lyrics

Artist: Blue Oyster Cult

Album: Tyranny & Mutation

Genre: Rock

Blue Oyster Cult
Tyranny & Mutation
Hot Rails To Hell
Riding the underground
Swimming in sweat
A rumble above and below
Hey cop don't you know?
The heat's on alright
The hot summer day didn't quit for the night

1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in it's spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

Blackened out eyes
Scratched on the wall
Stoned out looks from the crowd
The king will not know
On the wall it was said
The flash of his cards was sprayed with red

1277 express to heaven
Speeding along like dynamite
1277 express to heaven
Rumbles the steel like a dogfight
You caught me in it's spell
Trying to leave but you know darn well
The heat from below can burn your eyes out

    seriously? no one has said that this song is about meth? when i looked up 1277 online it came up with a couple diff things, one being a german u-boat. lol now for one, a 'boat' is a reference to the vehicle from which the smoking of meth can be achieved. lol also, who invented amphetamine? hitler. or his scientists. whatever. either way. mystery solved. plus, come on. hot rails. hot rails to hell. lol hot rails are just another way of ingesting the drug meth by way of melting and snorting the drug while being melted. probably a lot more leathal and stupid than just plain smoking meth in the first place but whatever. not my cup o tea. im just very familiar with various drug references. go me.
