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!
