Locomotive Breath Lyrics

Locomotive Breath lyrics

In the Shuffling madness of the locomotive breath, 
Runs the all time loser,
headlong to his death 
He feels the piston scraping steam breaking on his
brow 
Old Charlie stole the handle and the train that watched her go 
You
know he couldn't slow down 
No he couldn't slow down 
He sees his children
jumping off at stations one by one 
His woman and his best friend in bed and
having fun 
Crawling down the corridor on his hands and knees 
Old
Charlie stole the handle and the train that watched her go 
No he couldn't
slow down 
No he couldn't slow down 
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 
I thank God he stole the handle and
the train that watched her go 
You know he couln't slow down 
No he
couldn't slow down
