Locomotive Breath

In the shuffling madness Of the locomotive breath Runs the all time loser Headlong to his death Oh, he feels the piston scraping Steam breaking on his brow Old Charlie stole the handle And the train, it won't stop going No way to slow down Oh, oh He sees his children jumping off At stations one by one His woman and his best friend In bed an' having fun Oh, he's crawling down the corridor On his hands and knees Old Charlie stole the handle And the train, it won't stop going No way to slow down Yeah, yeah He hears the silence howling And catches angels as they fall And the all time winner Has got him by the balls Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible Open at page one I thank God, he stole the handle And the train, it won't stop going No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down No way to slow down
