Lyrics - Get Down
(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...
