Funny you’d mention “track”.
I’ve had ‘Locomotive Breath’ stuck in my head since Tuesday.
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 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.
Hes crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees —
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train 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 won’t stop going —
No way to slow down.
Funny you’d quote that song. I’ve had one stuck in my head too:
Once upon a time there was an engineer
Choo-choo Charlie was his name we hear
He had an engine and he sure had fun
He used Good and Plenty Candy
to make his train run.
(Charlie says)
Love my Good and Plenty!
(Charlie says)
Really rings the bell!
(Charlie says)
Love my Good and Plenty!
Don’t know any other candy that I love so well.
