[Intro]
[Verse]
Perish the thought - a god in me
Among the billion starlit sights
That bathe the brain in destiny
Calling daily on mindful rights
[Chorus]
Give me words of worldly and wise
Flush the dangerous detours away
The god delusions and their spies
Who conjure calm from pots of clay
[Verse]
Let science go about its work
And reason why when loved ones part
Thought of heaven before the fork
To turn - to jab - to wake - to start
[Chorus]
Give me words of worldly and wise
Flush the dangerous detours away
The god delusions and their spies
Who conjure calm from pots of clay
[Verse]
So many weaknesses to slay
Surprised by tears when tunes invade
A heart or mind as soulful prey
Or worse the prophets of the sword
[Chorus]
Give me words of worldly and wise
Flush the dangerous detours away
The god delusions and their spies
Who conjure calm from pots of clay
[Break]
[Verse]
And what of truth this tiresome meme
That all adopt as rightful tool
Each cap or codpiece coloured theme
Battery hen or capon of cool
[Chorus]
Give me words of worldly and wise
Flush the dangerous detours away
The god delusions and their spies
Who conjure calm from pots of clay
[Verse]
Motion shared by spirited man
Flights of fancy each worldview drawn
In evolution’s certain span
Lost in thought each cross-haired fawn
[Chorus]
Give me words of worldly and wise
Flush the dangerous detours away
The god delusions and their spies
Who conjure calm from pots of clay
[Break]
[Verse]
We will not let the devils ride
Who wish for b***d and sinew more
Than they reveal and barely hide
An image - a future - a door
[Chorus]
Give me words of worldly and wise
Flush the dangerous detours away
The god delusions and their spies
Who conjure calm from pots of clay
[Chorus]
Give me words of worldly and wise
Flush the dangerous detours away
The god delusions and their spies
Who conjure calm from pots of clay
[Outro]
