And maybe god is a train going all across Atlanta

And crying in the deep of the night

And maybe god is a train shining light into a tunnel

And coming on with all of its might

And maybe everything's cool and it don't make a difference what you do

And maybe everything's fine and it don't make a difference who loves who

But baby take care take care

And maybe god is a boy kneeling down in dirty gardens

And taking bugs apart with his hands

And maybe god is a boy in a social situation

And trying to be tough like a man

And maybe everything's there on a silver platter for us now

And maybe nobody cares and nothing really matters for us now

But baby take note take note

And maybe god is a girl dressing up her little animals

Setting out a table for tea

And maybe god is a girl who just got her learner's permit

She's driving drunk and dangerously

And maybe everything's just exactly how it's supposed to be

But even then what exactly has that got to do with me

When I'm in pain in pain

And maybe god is a train
