God (Take I) - Ian Hunter

Written by：Hackett Taitt

This is god take

Oh ya

Oh god said to me

Gonna kick your a** '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 bag'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
