Swimming beneath the continents   Swirling through the sky   Is everything I don't know yet   Still won't when I die      For I am just a little thing   Astounded by everything   The wet grass beneath my feet   The tall towers of concrete      If I was God no one would doubt it   You wouldn't need church to get the mystery   That we once knew   Is something we'd forget      I believe   I'm a totally modern boy (Turn out the lights)   I believe in something   Don't wanna be   Some evil giant's toy (When it's late at night)   I believe in something      My friend had his death foretold   When he was twenty-six years old   I say the right things, they're no help   His body slowly eats itself      If I was God no one would doubt it   No one would suspect   That there was nothing that I couldn't do      I believe in these tiny little pills (Turn out the lights)   I believe in something   Mystic words on the back of dollar bills (When it's late at night)   I believe in something      I'm swimming beneath the continents   Swirling through the air   Can't see the bones beneath my skin   But I knew that they're there      I believe that my little heart's diseased (Turn out the lights)   I believe in something   I like to think there are people just like me (When it's late at night)   I believe in something      I believe what they taught me in grade school (Turn out the lights)   History is made my handsome fools (When it's late at night)   I believe everything on television   Twelve step programs are the new religion   Gideon bibles made with rolling paper   The just prevail sooner or later   I believe I will live forever   I believe it all   I'll swear to whatever   I believe in something
