Lyrics:
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 it won't stop going
no way to slow down.

He sees his children jumping off
at the stations - one by one.
His woman and his best friend
in bed and having fun.
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.
He picks up Gideons Bible
open at page one
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train it won't stop going
no way to slow down.

  • and...the train "it" won't stop going.... ;)

  • @tariksba I don't fine-tune the lyrics. Only if I see super obvious errors, but if someone points them out I'll fix them,

  • Skoteini Plevra "Kane Piso"..... check the melody

  • 2:49 to 3:27 is the best part

  • Thanks for the vid!

    At the end of the song, he sings:

    "He picks up Gideons Bible

    open at page one

    I thank God he stole the handle..." (almost sounds like "candle")

  • IT WAS NICE TO WATCH IT LIVE

  • Is there any other songs with a similar intro? Because this one is awesome!

  • Hell yes! This is a great song.

  • another old channel (taken down) posted the censored single version, but it was taken down due to a copywright strike, but not this one. I WANT THAT VERSION!!!

  • @ydietzelful Now this I love. Thank you for posting this.

  • @garysdavenport Snot runs from my nose at this point? Sorry, but obviously you get it.....
