I Believe In Something

Swimming beneath the continents

Swirling through the sky

Is everything I don't know yet

Still won't when I die

For I am just a little thing

Astounded by everything

The wet grass beneath my feet

The tall towers of concrete

If I was God no one would doubt it

You wouldn't need church to get the mystery

That we once knew

Is something we'd forget

I believe

I'm a totally modern boy (Turn out the lights)

I believe in something

Don't wanna be

Some evil giant's toy (When it's late at night)

I believe in something

My friend had his death foretold

When he was twenty-six years old

I say the right things, they're no help

His body slowly eats itself

If I was God no one would doubt it

No one would suspect

That there was nothing that I couldn't do

I believe in these tiny little pills (Turn out the lights)

I believe in something

Mystic words on the back of dollar bills (When it's late at night)

I believe in something

I'm swimming beneath the continents

Swirling through the air

Can't see the bones beneath my skin

But I knew that they're there

I believe that my little heart's diseased (Turn out the lights)

I believe in something

I like to think there are people just like me (When it's late at night)

I believe in something

I believe what they taught me in grade school (Turn out the lights)

History is made my handsome fools (When it's late at night)

I believe everything on television

Twelve step programs are the new religion

Gideon bibles made with rolling paper

The just prevail sooner or later

I believe I will live forever

I believe it all

I'll swear to whatever

I believe in something
