The Drones - The Best You Can Believe In lyrics
[The Drones - The Best You Can Believe In lyrics]
I ain't often one to be
Having a crisis in faith
Though I would not be the one
That you'd come asking anyway
I ain't no big believer in
The virtues of belief
Though I would not say that outside
Looking out’s a virtue either
And you may, you may think you're right
You may think that you have
But see you have not, man
And it's all a waste of time
I ain't philistine, friend or ally
I ain't no one’s fool 'cept mine
I ain't big on talk of getting old
Or tanning someone’s hide
If anything, you come to be
Thus you’re bound to go sometime
You can pipe me up your chimney
I was born of clear blue skies
To a white skinned girl with pale blue eyes
I see a million injured eyeballs
Staring into the throat
And they're gutting one another
With solicitous joy
And feeding it scraps with
A frenzied devotion
A burning liver all the worst men have
Is the best you can believe in
Let it balm you, then embalm you
And you might float your body down it
Lord in peace
And I'll be fine up there on the bank
With my flashlight
In a pair of pig skin tights
Having a crisis in faith
Though I would not be the one
That you'd come asking anyway
I ain't no big believer in
The virtues of belief
Though I would not say that outside
Looking out’s a virtue either
And you may, you may think you're right
You may think that you have
But see you have not, man
And it's all a waste of time
I ain't philistine, friend or ally
I ain't no one’s fool 'cept mine
I ain't big on talk of getting old
Or tanning someone’s hide
If anything, you come to be
Thus you’re bound to go sometime
You can pipe me up your chimney
I was born of clear blue skies
To a white skinned girl with pale blue eyes
I see a million injured eyeballs
Staring into the throat
And they're gutting one another
With solicitous joy
And feeding it scraps with
A frenzied devotion
A burning liver all the worst men have
Is the best you can believe in
Let it balm you, then embalm you
And you might float your body down it
Lord in peace
And I'll be fine up there on the bank
With my flashlight
In a pair of pig skin tights
