Album:

"M.U." The Best Of Jethro Tull

In the shuffling madness 
Of the locomotive breath 
Runs the all time loser 
Headlong to his death 


He feels the pistons 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, yeah 


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 
God He stole the handle and 
The train won't stop going 
No way to slow down
