"This is God, Take 1" Oh ya... Oh, God said to me "Gonna kick your ass, 'cos all you do is ask, ask, ask All that energy looking for me, when I'm sitting here inside you, plain to see How I built you cell for cell, gave you sights to see, I gave you tales to tell Even let you help yourself for a while, to take some weight off this busy child" Now I said to God "I found you out, 'cos I know what this life is all about!" And God said "Stop, don't scramble your brain My opponent's been messing you around again See him and me, are enemies and we play little games for galaxies And he's inside you and I am too, so here we are, just the three of you Oh, we made mistakes, too many cards, but making human beings can be hard A God gets tired of playing so much chess He wishes his God would get him out of his mess" I said to God "What's it like to die?" He said "It's as plain as the sea and sky Conception was me and him and you When your batteries fade, we all just move on" Oh, I said to God "Who's winning this game? Is the devil in front?" He said "Is that his name? You know I've been so busy I never asked I never looked up from this awesome task" I said to God "What's good and bad?" He said "It's just something that you've gotta have It don't mean nothing to us up here But you're primitive people, you gotta have fear" Now I said to God "Do I think for myself?" He said "I told you once you just help yourself Don't you forget you're composed of three Your thinking comes from him and me" Now I said to God "How big are you? Is there a religion? Is it true? How big's the universe? Is time, the same for you, as my life is to mine?" Oh, He said "If all the things that made worlds float, were all to part Then you would note The size of him and the size of me And that's how big we both shall be" He said "The universe is small, just like some fortune-teller's ball And we both sit down and we play the game When somebody wins, it all starts again There's no religion, you did that It helps to keep your little leaders fat Like faith and superstition stay, to help you pass the time away But when you talk of time and life It makes me think of circles and heights Expansion is the clue, your dreams are nearer than you've ever been Now you see my little toy to think, is from two bowls of wine to drink Don't take too much or you may drown Behave yourself See you around"
