God (Take 1) Ian Hunter

[Spoken: "This is God, Take 1”]

Oh ya…

Oh, 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, I gave you tales to tell
Even let you help yourself for a while, to take some weight off this busy child."

Now I said to God
"I found you out, 'cos I know what this life is all about!"

And 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 and 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 me and him and you
When your batteries fade, we all just move on."
