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

 

Oh 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

 

Oh he picks up gideon's Bible

 

Open at page one

 

I thank god He stole the handle

 

And the train it won't stop going no way to slow down...
