Lyric discussion by smiledownuponyourson 

"He picked up Gideon’s Bible…I thank God he stole the handle and the train it won't stop going..." With the only means of slowing and stopping the train removed, Loser became willing to consider spirituality. So, Anderson thanks God for allowing the painful circumstances, the panic and terror and the urgency that moved him to open a bible to see if it held answers to his misery, just in time. Just before his time ran out…

@smiledownuponyourson: What?? He doesn't say "thank God he stole the handle," it's just goes, " I said, God, he stole the handle." There is nothing in there to indicate a move towards spirituality, & he is definitely NOT thanking God for his circumstances! But of course if that's what you get from the song then by all means, go for it, but don't think it's what most ppl think.
