Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath (Lyrics)

Details

Description

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 Oh oh.

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 his knees
Old Charlie stole the handle
and the train
it won't stop going no way to slow down Eh eh.

He hears the silence howling
catches angels as they fall
And the alltime winner has got him by the balls. Oh.
He picks up Gidean's Bible; open at page one
I thank Got he stole the handle
and the train
it won't stop going no way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
