Intro
Verse 1
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 going
No way to slow down
Verse 2
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
Flute Solo
Verse 3
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 Gideon's 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
Outro
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
