Are You There, Margaret? It's Me, God

By The Lawrence Arms (2006)
On album Oh! Calcutta! (2006)

Oh! Calcutta!
You told me where to go
And I always followed
You told me what to do
I swallowed every drop down
You told me bedtime stories
Of how I'd rise above
You told me they were true

I sat and thought about her
On the train ride out
I felt my stomach turn
Like it's done for years now
I thought about her hips and thighs
Running red in my eyes
I felt my body burn

Aeroplane, aeroplane
Don't leave without me
Cause I'm out here all by myself
And I got no place to sleep

Aeroplane, aeroplane
Don't leave without me
Cause I'm out here all by myself
And I ain't got no place to sleep

And you told me that you loved me
I swallowed every drop down
And you told me how it felt
Like being gagged and bound
And you told me you were leaving
On the last train out
And you told me to go to hell

Let me tell you, beautiful, I've been there
Believe me when I say I'm not afraid
Of destruction, sorrow, fear or regret
I've heard the devil call me by my name

Aeroplane, aeroplane
Don't leave without me
Cause I'm out here all by myself
And I got no place to sleep

Aeroplane, aeroplane
Don't leave without me
Cause I'm out here all by myself
And I ain't got no place to sleep

Believe me when I say I'm not afraid
I heard the devil call me by name
