Locomotive Breath

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
 He sees his children jumping 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 him by the balls
 Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible
 open at page one
 I thank God He stole the handle
 and the train, it won't stop going
 no way to slow down
