Locomotive Breath
Lyrics
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
