Act Of The Apostle II

I'm bored out my mind

Too sick to even care

I'll take a little walk

Nobody's going to know

I'm in senior year

It gives you a little free time

I'll just use it all at once!

Took the fence and the lane

The bus then the train

Bought an 'Independent' to make me

Look like I got brains

I made a story up in my head if anybody would ask

I'm going to a seminar!

I'm a genius

I'm a prodigy

A demon at Maths and Science

I'm up for a prize

If you gotta grow up sometime

You've gotta do it on your own

I don't think I could stand to be stuck

That's the way that things were going

The bible's my tool

There's no mention of school!

My Damascan Road's my transistor radio

I tune in at night when my mum and my dad start to fight

I put on my headphones

And I tune out

I am devout

The girls are singing about my life

But they're not here

They've got the wild life

If you want to find out

Find out

You got to look them in the eye

That's why my only choice

Is find the face behind the voice

She asked the man if the service was open

“Not today

Just the choir from the radio”

“Couldn't I sit in?

I've come all this way”

“Will you bugger off

I've got work to do”

The city was losing its appeal

God was asleep

He was back in her village in the fields

“Oh, if I could make sense of it all!

I wish that I could sing

I'd stay in a melody

I would float along in my everlasting song

What would I do to believe?”
