Ian Hunter Lyrics
God (Take 1)

(Ian Hunter)

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 - gave you tales to tell Even let you help
yourself for a while - to take some weight off
this busy child"

I said to God "I found you out - I know what
this world is all about!" 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 - 'n 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 him and me and you - when your batteries fade
we all just move on"

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 'n bad" He said
"It's just something you've got to have It
don't mean nothing to us up here - but your
primitive people - you gotta have fear"

I said to God "Do I think for myself" He
said I told you once you just help yourself Don't
forget you're composed of three, your thinking
comes from him and me" 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"

God 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
'n superstition stay - to help you pass the time
away But when you talk of time and life - it makes
me think of circles, heights Expansion is the clue
- your dreams - are nearer than you've ever
been"

"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..."
