Locomotive Lyrics - Styx

In the shuffling madness of the locomotive breath 

Runs the all time loser, head long 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 jumpin' off at stations, one by one 

His woman and his best friend in bed and havin' 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 

Hey, hey, [Incomprehensible], ooh 

Charlie, Charlie, Charlie 

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 

But, God, he stole the handle and the train 

It won't stop going, no way to slow down
