v.1
In the shuffling madness, comes locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser headlong to his death
Oh he hears the pistons scrapin', steam breakin' on his brow

Chorus:
Ol' Charlie stole the handle and the train it won't stop goin'
No it could slow down, oh ho

v.2
You see the children jump off at the stations one by one
His woman an' his best friend in bed an' having fun
Oh he's crawlin' down the corridor on his hands and knees

Rpt. Ch.
Instr. Brk.

v.3
You hear the silent 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
Oh, God, he stole the handle, and the train it it won't stop movin'
No it could slow down [rpt. to end]
