Beautiful Blue Train
[Verse 1]
It was a beautiful night, when I was talking to My Lord;
I said: "Oh my, Omniscient One, tell me, why I'm tired and bored?"
He said — Shut up and listen
You know — words are all in vain
Just check your soul for this blue train
[Verse 2]
Why don't we get outside, before it is too late
You don't want to be stuck where the doctors and the lawyers lie in wait
Take me out tonight — I'm tired of being alone
And beautiful blue train will take us home
Will take us home
[Verse 3]
You know, sometimes I feel like part of my body is made of steel
And then I think of all the little girls gone beneath its wheels:
Alright then, who's that dancing round this human pole?
And our beautiful blue train will take them home
[Verse 4]
It was a beautiful night, and I was talking to My Lord
I said — Lord, what You've been telling me is not what I was taught
He said — Do you think I really care
Where is that you roam?
Cause my beautiful blue train will take you home
Will take you home
