In the shuffling madness
Dans la folie battante
Of the locomotive breath,
Du souffle de la locomotive
Runs the all-time loser,
Court celui qui perd tout le temps
Headlong to his death.
Droit vers sa mort.
"Oh" He feels the piston scraping --
Il sent le piston abandonnant
Steam breaking on his brow --
La vapeur qui eclate sur son front
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train "it" won't stop going --
Le vieux Charlie a volé le manche et
No way to slow down. "OhooOh"
Le train ne veux pas s'arrêter,
He sees his children "jumping" off
Aucun moyen de ralentir
At the stations -- one by one.
His woman and his best friend --
Il voit ses enfants descendre
In bed and having fun.
Aux gares, un par un.
"Oh" He's crawling down the corridor
Sa femme et son meilleur ami
On his hands and knees --
Au lit entrain de prendre du bon temps.
Old Charlie stole the handle and
Il rampe le long du couloir
The train "it" won't stop going --
Sur ses mains et ses genoux
No way to slow down. "Heaheya"
He hears the silence howling --
Il entend le silence hurler
Catches angels as they fall.
Attrape les anges dès qu'il tombent.
And the all-time winner
Et celui qui gagne tout le temps
Has got him by the balls.
L'a près des boules.
"Oh" He picks up Gideons Bible --
Il vole la Bible
Open at page one --
L'ouvre à la première page
I thank GOD "he" stole the handle and
The train "it" won't stop going --
