Overture Lyrics

    CONTROL
    This is control. This is control. Tonight is the most important night in the
    history of the world. Take your seats for the World Championship Railroad
    Race. Trains to your tracks. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,
    three, two, one. Trains gone!

    Four trains going for two final places.
    Greaseball and Expresso are the early leaders with Nintendo pressing in
    third. This is turning into a real grudge match. And here's a surprise: look
    at that Rusty go.

    MOTHER
    Put those trains away.

    CONTROL
    Oh Mum - just five more minutes.

    MOTHER
    Put those trains away and get into bed.

    CONTROL
    But...

    MOTHER
    No buts.

    CONTROL
    Starlight Express, Starlight Express
    Are you real - yes or no ?
    Starlight Express, Starlight Express
