The Little Engine Who Couldn t (Think Straight) lyrics
And here I am
Day after day
I used to be a speed demon
But they threw me away
Now I m stuck here all alone
In the middle of a field
The Birds and the Trees, Swayin
Made a mess out of me
And I m sayin -
There s music in the way the weather hits my rusty coat
But I don t give a damn without a place to go
I could have shot across the mountainside
An open country fate
But instead they say that I m the Little Engine Who Couldn t Think Straight
And I can hear them saying:
"We heard about this Little Engine of the North
We heard he drove a hundred men into the ocean
Can you believe this Little Engine?
What a foolish Little Engine!"
And even though I m all alone
And those are voices in my head
I can still hear their hearts stop beating
I can still see their tears start falling
The water s deep and freezing
And I m leaning on a rock
Floating past the dead I see a ticking clock
Saying time is up my friend
Take a bow and leave the stage
Cause forever says you re now the Little Engine Who Couldn t Think Straight
And they ll never stop saying:
"We heard about this Little Engine of the North
We heard he drove a hundred men into the ocean
Can you believe this Little Engine?
What a foolish Little Engine!
KILL HIM!!!!"
Maybe one day they ll forgive
And try me out again
Until then I ll just sit here waiting
A scrap of metal trash they ve created
-INTERLUDE-
The Shredding Tears Have Come to Play
On the Stage
A Little Song of Light and Sound
OH!
Can you see em spinning round?
OH!
A Little Song of Light and Sound!
