Locomotive Breath

In the shuffling madness of locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the pistons scraping by, steam breaking his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle and the train
It won't stop going, no way to slow down

He sees the children jump off at 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

He hears the silence howling, catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner has got to buy the fall
Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible open at page one
And I think God stole the handle and the train
It won't stop going, no way to slow down

No, it can't slow down
No way to slow down
No, it can't slow down
No, it won't slow down
No, it can't slow down
It'll never slow down
