Locomotive Breath

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