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 d-mn 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 scr-p 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!
