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 [C7]see, and [Bm]it's waiting for [Dm7]me
Out there, I care, I dare
Through a countɾy that you've only heard of
Through the valleys, feel the pressure drop
Onwards moving 'til you [A7see the mountains
Feel your heart may stop
Day and [Bm]night feel closer now
I walk along [Am]these corridors of power
Orient Express, built to [C7]impress
There's so much to [C7]see, and [Bm]you [A7set me free
Out here, feel near, to [C7]fear
