In the shuffling madness Of the locomotive breath Runs the all time loser Headlong to his d**h He feels the pistons scraping Steam breaking on his brow Old Charlie stole the handle and The train it won't stop going 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 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 He hears the silence howling Catches angels as they fall And the all time winner Has got him by the balls He picks up Gideons Bible Open at page one God He stole the handle and The train won't stop going No way to slow down
