In the shuffling madnessof 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 andthe train won't stop going --no way to slow down.He sees his children jumping offat the stations -- one by one.His woman and his best friend --in bed and having fun.He's crawling down the corridoron his hands and knees --old Charlie stole the handle andthe train won't stop going --no way to slow down.He hears the silence howling --catches angels as they fall.And the all-time winnerhas got him by the balls.He picks up Gideons Bible --open at page one --old Charlie stole the handle andthe train won't stop going --no way to slow down.
