Music & Lyrics by Natalie Carotenuto

lyrics

Click, click, clack -
Hear us rattling down the track
Let's bring this sucker up to speed
And see what she can take
Til we burn, burn, burn
And that engine really churns.
I see them twists and turns ahead,
But I've lost the will to brake.

So we'll drive this horse a couple hours
Or maybe til we die;
These locomotive virtues
Got me aching for a ride.
Can't barely see the path ahead
Or recall what's gone by
This smoke and steam is going to my brain.

Blow, blow, blow,
Sound that whistle as we go;
One hundred miles an hour still
I yearn for something more.
So shovel that coal
And let the heat just take its toll.
My train demands your everything;
That's all I'm asking for.

So we'll drive this train a couple years
And maybe pick up pace
The speed is my addiction,
The track my saving grace.
And now I see the path ahead,
I recognize this place,
But this smoke and steam is driving me insane

Scream, baby, scream
As we both blow off some steam.
What used to be our special night
Has turned into our weekly fight
Now sigh, mama, sigh
Y'know our boiler's running dry
Our motivation vaporized
Our love drifts out of sight

Now we drove this horse into the ground
And all we’ve got to show
Is locomotive virtue
And some baggage left in tow.
The best laid tracks have gone awry
So pack your things and go
No seats left on this Godforsaken train
