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 Oh no way to slow down
He sees his children jumping off At the stations one by one His woman and his best friend In bed and 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 Hey
He hears the silence howling Catches angels as they fall And the all-time winner Has got him by the balls Oh, he picks up Gideons bible 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
