Lyrics

[01:31] in the shuffling madess
[01:34] of the locomotive breath,
[01:38] runs the all time loser,
[01:42] headlong to his death.
[01:45] he feels the piston scraping
[01:49] steam breaking on his brow
[01:53] old charlie stole the handle and the
[01:57] train won't stop going
[02:00] no way to slow down.
[02:09] he sees his children jumping off
[02:13] at stations one by one.
[02:17] his woman and his best friend
[02:20] in bed and having fun.
[02:24] crawling down the corridor
[02:28] on his hands and knees
[02:32] old charlie stole the handle and
[02:35] the train won't stop going
[02:39] no way to slow down.
[03:27] he hears the silence howling
[03:30] catches angels as they fall.
[03:33] and the all time winner
[03:37] has got him by the balls.
[03:41] he picks up gideons bible
[03:44] open at page one
[03:48] old charlie stole the handle and
[03:52] the train won't stop going
[03:55] no way to slow down.
