Jethro Tull performing an edited version of Thick as a Brick at Madison Square Garden in New York City, October 1978.
In the shuffling madess of the locomotive breath, runs the all-time loser, headlong to his death. He feels the piston scraping -- steam breaking on his brow -- old Charlie stole the handle and the train won't stop...

Sitting on a park bench
Eying up little girls with bad intent
Snots running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes, hey, Aqualung
Really don't mind if you sit this one out
My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout
I may make you feel but I can't make you think
Your sperm's in the gutter, your love's in the sink
The old rocker wore his hair too long
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
Unfashionable to the end drank his ale too light
More Jethro Tull - Too Old To Rock 'n' Roll: Too Young To Die Lyrics
Whenever I get to feel this way
Hard to find new words to say
I think about the bad old days
We used to know
Who would be a poor man
A beggar man, a thief
If he had a rich man in his hand?
And who would steal the candy
Oh, Father high in heaven
Smile down upon your son, hey, hey
Who's busy with his money games, oh
His women and his gun
In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all time loser
Headlong to his death
I see a dark sail on the horizon
Set under a black cloud that hides the sun
Bring me my broadsword and clear understanding
Under wraps
Keep it quiet, go slow
Circulate, need to know
When I was young and they packed me off to school
And they taught me how not to play the game
Oh, I didn't mind if they groomed me for success
Or if they said that I was just a fool
