Was Mercury In retrograde Or had a storm broken the line Low-lying fog High-flying planes Some kind of smog blocking the sky That meant my prayer Had gone astray The one I feared to pray the most That you'd be there And show your face Not father and son Just Holy Ghost Faith is a man-made invention Oh Holy Ghost, I never asked for intervention No, not at all I was hoping I'd feel you more Than not at all I was just hoping I would feel you more The night he died, I realized that there was no one watching over us No one left to shoulder us Left out in the wilderness Waiting for our sins to be absolved I'm not saying you don't exist Just saying you don't get involved And if I'm wrong then come along and give us a sign that you're even hearing me Try to make it clear to me I'd settle for your face in a piece of toast or a little faith when I need it most Oh holy ghost God is a lad in a toga Oh holy ghost I never asked to get to know ya No not at all I was hoping I would feel you more More than not at all I was just hoping I would feel you more Our Father who hides in heaven I don't know your name Your kingdom run by men undone On Earth with no hope of heaven
