pulled the rip chord
floated down
down through the layers of cloud
black and gold
watch the TV
saw the children lying, crying
a long time ago
light a cigarette
walk into a bar
didn't know we'd gone so far
pulls his trenchcoat tighter
walked into the road
didn't see the car
he must be getting old
do you, do I believe?
do you, do I believe?

it could be Kennedy looking for a gun
it could be Churchill who still thinks he won
and as the clowns dance round
someone else was found
hiding in the robes of love
do you, do I believe?
do you, do I believe?

they nailed him to a cross
he thought his cause was lost
he didn't know that it just began
and as the clock went round
he started gaining ground
and no-one thought he might be lying
do you, do I believe?
do you, do I believe?
do you, do I believe in God ?
