Upstairs is your neighbor, do us a favor
Ask him to take off his heavy shoes
When no reply came, we sang the refrain
if you want the whole truth
Every line I write is meant for you
Though it's pathetic, I don't regret it
So I asked the meaning of the sunset
Went to the garden to ask Adam
And God interrupted, yes, yes you may
I said to the void, well, who were you?
Though it's pathetic now, I understand it
The world is a question, well, who are you?
two islands bridged by water
My heart's a burning sun,
I'll give it to my daughter
Now we must start with shovels of dark
and a topographic map of the heart
But we've got to find the
If we're only atoms, matter and gravity
Why do you make your case
I heard King Midas is throwing a party
Then there's the dead theologian
They don't know the first thing
Two parts bourbon and one part water
But where is it, labour, do us a favour
We miss the sound of His heavy shoes
When no reply came, we sang the refrain
The God who made ugly, made beauty too
