TITLE: Locomotive Breath
Lyrics and Chords


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, it won't stop going
No way to slow down, o-oh

He sees his children jumping off
At the 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 won't stop going
No way to slow down, hey-ey

He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner
Has got him by the balls
He picks up Gideon's Bible
Open at page one
God, he stole the handle
And the train won't stop going
No way to slow down, ow
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
