Everybody’s doing a brand new dance now......
“C’mon baby do the locomotion-—!” And a second comes to mind-—
“In the shuffling madness of the locomotive..
breath, runs the all time loser, headlong to his death
Oh he feels the pistons scraping,steam breaking on his brow,
old Charley, he stole the handle and the train won’t stop going.... NO it should 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 Charley stole the handle and the train won’t stop going,
NO Way to slooooow down”.
Ian Anderson, writer/leader of Jethro Tull.
