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
