| In the Shuffling madess
|
| 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 won’t stop going
|
| no way to 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 won’t stop going
|
| no way to 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
|
| old Charlie stole the handle and
|
| the train won’t stop going
|
| no way to slow down. |
