One hot angel
One cool devil
Your mind on the fantasy
Living on the ecstasy
Give it all, give it
Give it what you got
Come on give it all a lot
Pick it up move it
Give it to the spot
Your mind on fantasy
Living on ecstasy
Runaway train

A school boy spelling bee
A school girl with a fantasy
One hot rang a ale
Old school rebel
A ten for the revelry
Diamond of the agency
Shake it, shake it

You know she make it really hot
Get it on, get it up

Full-Throttle Energy: Interpreting “Rock ‘N’ Roll Train”

The lyrics paint a picture of wild abandon, blending the imagery of a runaway train with themes of fantasy, ecstasy, and living life on the edge. The repeated refrain of “runaway train” emphasizes an unstoppable momentum, reflecting both the irresistible force of rock ‘n’ roll and the freedom it represents. With references to angels, devils, rebels, and southern belles, the song is a celebration of characters who break the mold and chase their desires without restraint.
