Bryan Scary - 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!
