Lyrics:

In the shuffling madess
of the locomotive breath,
runs the all-time 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. 'OhooOh'

He sees his children 'jump' 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 'it' won't stop going --
no way to slow down. 'Heaheya'

He hears the silence howling --
catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
has got him by the balls.
'Oh' He picks up Gideons Bible --
open at page one --
'I think' GOD 'he' stole the handle and
the train 'it' won't stop going --
no way to slow down.
'no it couldn't slow down
no way to slow down
no way to slow down
no way to slow down'
