lyrics

Last train a-running between the water With a power line Last train a-running around the hill Last train a-leaving on the quarter Hour time Last chance to cast your last thread

Thisa world is getting so much faster It’s too sad For a train a-going down slow

And I forgot to leave her, oh with the laughter It’s too bad When it's in my nature to lay low

You got me huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo-choo train A huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo-choo train Hissing and kissing and missing like a beau coup brain Huffing and puffing and chugging like a choo-choo train

Just like the engine at the junction, feeling down My head is wondering where to go

And you’ve a got so many different trips you know My face is wondering where to show

Just like the engine at the junction, feeling down My head is wondering where to go
