1. Strophe
In the shuffling madness of the locomotive breath
Runs the alltime loser headlong to his death
Oh, 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 - oho
2. Strophe
He sees his children jumping off at 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 -
It won't stop going no way to slow down - he-he!
Qerflötensolo:
Vers 3:
He hears the silence howling, catches angels as they fall.
And the alltime winner has got him by the balls.
Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible, open at page one.
I thank God he stole the handle, and the train -
It won't stop going no way to slow down
Coda
- No way to slow down, no way to slow down,
- No way to slow down, no way to slow down.
- No way to slow down, no way to slow down.
