|
In the shuffling madness |
|
Of the locomotive breath |
|
Runs the all time loser |
|
Headlong to his death |
|
And 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 |
|
He sees his children jumping off |
|
At stations one by one |
|
His woman and his best friend |
|
In bed and having fun |
|
And 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, oh |
|
No way to slow down |
|
He hears the silence howling |
|
When he catches angels as they fall |
|
And the all time winner |
|
Has got him by the balls |
|
Oh, and he picks up Gideon's Bible |
|
And it's open at page one |
|
I think 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 |
|
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 |
