I Believe In Something

Swimming 'neath the continents

Swirling through the sky

Is everything I don't know yet

And 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

We wouldn't need church to get

The mystery that we once knew

The something we forget

I believe I'm a totally modern boy

(but turn out the light) and 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 could do

With my greater intellect

I believe in these tiny little pills

(turn out the light) I believe in something

Mystic words on the backs of dollar bills

(when it's late at night) I believe in something

I'm swimming 'neath the continents

I'm swirling through the air

Can't see the bones beneath my skin

But I know that they're there

I believe that my little heart's diseased

(turn out the light) I believe in something

I'd 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

History is made by handsome dudes

I believe everything on television

Twelve-step programs are the new religion

Gideon bibles make good rolling papers

The just prevail sooner or later

I believe I will live forever

I believe it all

I swear to whatever.

I believe in something.
