In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his deathOh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his browOld Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down
Oh, ohHe sees his children jumping off
At stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed an' having funOh, he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and kneesOld Charlie stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow down
Yeah, yeahHe hears the silence howling
And catches angels as they fall
And the all time winner
Has got him by the ballsOh, he picks up Gideon's Bible
Open at page oneI thank God, he stole the handle
And the train, it won't stop going
No way to slow downNo way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
