lyrics

Well I’ve been working like hell to remember a truth
Like some star I could fix in the sky
Like a magnetic pole, it would pull me and I would know right
And I've been racking my brain to remember the words
Like some spell I could say and be whole
It was the simplest sound of a word written down in a book

But if the essence of fact could be harnessed like that
Well, I could boil down God like a broth
Then stay out half the night drinking soma with all of the boys

But does coherence exist in the world as it is?
Can a man find some sense in this life?
“What is truth?” Pilate asked on a Friday as black as the night
Oh but you can’t simplify when you're reasoning why
No, you can't sip your supper like that
You feel strange, you have changed who you were when you had your first draught

Oh you can sharpen your cynical sense of regret
You can cut out all the parts you don't like
You and your Jefferson Bible to lull you to sleep at night
Or you can choose to be careful and take in the whole of existence.
Oh God, what a sight!

But baby, I want you to tell me
About all the dark things that hide in your heart
Show me what makes you so lonely
Did somebody hurt you, did somebody lie?

Baby, I want you to tell me
About all the dark things that hide in your heart
Show me what makes you so lonely
Did somebody hurt you, did somebody lie?
