The Midnight Train to Gomorrah

With the recent news that the Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Upper South Carolina, Andrew Waldo, is going to permit same-sex blessings in some of his churches, and knowing that the bishop fancies himself as a railroad historian and train buff, guess which song came to mind?

Temptation proved too much for the man,
So he's leavin' the Gospel he used to know,
He said he's goin' out to find
Ooh, what's new in this world.
The Word he's left behind
Not so long ago.

He's leaving,
On that midnight train to Gomorrah,
And he's goin' out to find
Ooh, what's new in this world
And I won't be with him
On that midnight train to Gomorrah,
I'd rather live with the Word
Than live without it in that world.

He kept dreamin' That someday he'd be an HoB star.
But he sure found out the hard way That dreams don't always come true.
So he pawned his faith, and he even sold his beliefs
Bought a one way ticket
Away from the Lord he once knew, Oh yes he did,

He said he would Be leavin
On that midnight train to Gomorrah,
And he's goin' out to find
Ooh, what's new in this world
And I won't be with him On that midnight train to Gomorrah,
I'd rather live with the Word
Than live without it in that world.

All aboard, All aboard, All aboard the midnight train.
All aboard, All aboard, All aboard the midnight train.
