[Lyrics]
Devil's driving down the track
Helen's wheels, and they won't turn back
Engine racing down a one-way street
Speedo chasing that red-line heat
Into the blackness, into the night
Out of the tunnel, into the light
Red for danger, that's just for show
Climb aboard, come as you go
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold
Too smart to come, she just arrived
Only gave her one, but she's using five...
Minutes of time in the usual place
If I was strapped in, you could sit on my place
The doors were locked, the windows sealed
Hitting me with the jack was the devil's deal
Blue light flashing as the lipstick smudged
Dived for cover in a tunnel of glove
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold
Something's driving me - I don't know where
Something down in my cellar somewhere
No one waiting for me down the line
No one waiting for me this time - check it out
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Hell on wheels, and the brakes won't hold
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Hell on wheels, and the brakes won't hold
Knuckle down, stick shift, take it slow
Easy come means easy go
Lay off the gas, make it last
'cos under my hood she's blowing fast
Into the blackness, into the night
Out of the tunnel, into the light
Red for danger - just for show
Climb aboard, come as you go
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold
Hard to steer when the devil's driving
Helen's wheels, and the brakes won't hold
Hard to steer, yes, it's hard to steer (lord)
Hard to steer when the devil's driving (c'mon)
Hard to steer, you know it's hard to steer
Hard to steer when the devil's driving

''Hell On Wheels'' is a song from Bruce Dickinson's debut solo album, Tattooed Millionaire. It was released in October, 1990.
Dive Dive Live video can be found on ''Anthology'' DVD (Disc 1) by Bruce Dickinson, released on June 19, 2006.
''Anthology'' is a 3 disc compilation DVD by Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer of Iron Maiden. The DVD features three live performances as well every single promotional video made during Bruce's solo career. The DVD also includes over an hour of extras and unreleased footage.
Disc 1 features two live performances, the first is from the Tattooed Millionaire tour entitled Dive Dive Live, Bruce's first tour as a solo artist,and the second live performance is from the Skunkworks tour 1996 - Recorded in Pamplona and Gerona, Spain on May 30th and 31st 1996.
Dive Dive Live was filmed at the Town & Country Club in LA, August 14,at the end of the "Tattooed millionaire" US club tour in 1990. The video was directed by Jim Yukich (known for his work with Iron Maidens "Live After Death") and the personel were the same as on "Tattooed Millionaire", except that Dickie Fliszar handled the drum duties.
The material consists of practically all material from the Tattooed Millionaire-sessions (except Darkness Be My Friend from the All The Young Dudes single) including Bring Your Daughter...). The set also included some cover songs the band did on the tour, Deep Purple's "Black Night", AC/DC's "Sin City". They had previously done Free's "Wishing Well" on the European leg of the tour and in the US this one was replaced by Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.
'' 'Tattooed Millionaire' is a hard rock album released in 1990 by Bruce Dickinson. It is his first solo album. The album project began when Dickinson was asked to record a song for the fifth Nightmare on Elm Street movie, which became the song called "Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter". Collaborating with future Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers, Dickinson began to make a solo album which was fundamentally different from his works with Iron Maiden, sounding much more rock-oriented. "Bring your Daughter..." was not included on the original album but Iron Maiden later recorded a different version that was included on their 1990 album No Prayer for the Dying, which coincidentally became the band's only number one single to date. The introduction to the song "No Lies" is also reminiscent of Iron Maiden's version of "Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter". All songs written and composed by Bruce Dickinson and Janick Gers, except where noted. ''
