Light At The End Of The Tunnel (from "Starlight Express" soundtrack)

Diesel is for unbelievers
Electricity is wrong
Steam has got the power
That will 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

It's the power of James Watt
The steaming Scot
It's the man who watched the pot
And said, "Hey, I've got
A brilliant plot, when the steam gets hot
It seems to make a lot of power
It could turn a wheel
It could drive it down the track
It could drive it with a beat
With enough left over for a," woo

He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
Well, thanks, James Watt, for watching that pot
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel
He saw the 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

There are dark days ahead
When the power goes dead
When the oil runs dry
(Mmm, 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, oh

I see the light at the end of the tunnel, oh
I see the light at the end of the tunnel, oh
Just dig a hole and haul out the coal
I see the light at the end of the tunnel
I see a light at the end of the tunnel
So let that water boil, goodbye to oil
At the end of the tunnel, there's a light

We see the light at the end of the tunnel
(We see the light, we see the light)
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
(We see the light, we see the light, we see the light)
When that angel Gabriel blows his magic toot
See the light at the end of the tunnel
(We see the light, we see the light)
We see the light at the end of the tunnel
(We see the light, we see the light, we see the light)
So let that water boil, goodbye to oil
At the end of the tunnel, there's a light

Well, there's a light
At the end of the tunnel
We see the light
At the end of the tunnel
See the light, oh
We see the light
At the end of the tunnel
At the end, way, way down
At the end, hey, hey, hey
We see the light
We see the light, oh
See the light
We see the light
Hey, won't you see it?
Hey, don't you see it?
We see the light
Hey, don't you see it?
Hey, come on down...
