Jethro Tull Locomotive Breathe 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

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


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 Gideon's 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
