Letra Locomotive Breath - Jethro Tull
In the shuffling madness
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 -
God He stole the handle and
The train won't stop going -
No way to slow down.
