The Little Engine Who lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 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! song lyrics
