Tie me to the tracks of a runaway train
I left all my belongings in the family name
I'm hearing a calling to get out
Of my makeshift home in this makeshift town
Mother Mary are you calling my name
Mother Mary are you calling my name
This makeshift bodies a burden too
159 pounds I need to lose
I wish things could stay the same
But I'm only a toddler in a big kid's game
I don't like it when things change, I said
While they were sewing on my wings at the pearly gates
No I'm not a sinner but I'm sure not a saint, I said
My head wants feathers and my heart wants flames
My head wants feathers and my heart wants flames
Mother Mary are you calling my name
Mother Mary are you calling my name
I don't like it when things change, I said
But Mother Mary was calling my name
Nobody's really guilty when we're all to blame
So forgiveness was the song that the angels sang
When god delivered hell three weeks of rain
And saved those of us that had something to gain
Well
I don't like it when things change, I said
While they were sewing on my wings at the pearly gates
No I'm not a sinner but I'm sure not a saint, I said
My head wants feathers and my heart wants flames
My head wants feathers and my heart wants flames
My head wants feathers and my heart wants flames
Mother Mary don't call my name
Mother Mary don't call my name
I don't like it when things change, I said
But Mother Mary was calling my name
