Hour by hour I feel the tension mounting

Pretty soon now I'll be on my way

People meeting, greeting, leaving, meaning

Everything they say

Start to move, feel closer now

I walk along the corridors of power

Orient Express, life to excess

There's so much to see, and it's waiting for me

Out threre, I care, I dare

Through a country that you've only heard of

Through the valleys, feel the pressure drop

Onwards moving 'til you see the mountains

Feel your heart may stop

Day and night feel closer now

I walk along these corridors of power

Orient Express, built to impress

There's so much to see, and you set me free

Out here, feel near, to fear
