Most of them, however, don't even notice the technological expressions all over their own language, which they sail with, full steam ahead, right on track, with all the bells and whistles... as if sails, steam engine, tracks, bells and whistles aren't technology.

This old engine makes it on time,
Leaves central station bout a quarter to nine,
Hits river junction at seventeen to,
At a quarter to ten you know its travlin again.

Driving that train, high on cocaine,
Casey jones is ready, watch your speed.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind,
And you know that notion just crossed my mind.

Trouble ahead, lady in red,
Take my advice youd be better off dead.
Switchmans sleeping, train hundred and two is
On the wrong track and headed for you.

"Casey Jones", the Grateful Dead
