Schwa Lyrics

Locomotive Breath

Lyricist: Jethro Tull
Vocalist: Dave Katz

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 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

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