Ian Hunter - Good Advice To A Friend lyrics

Hunter Alright. Oh, God said to me: 'Gonna kick your a** 'cause 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, gave you tales to tell' 'Even let you help yourself for a while to take some weight off this busy child'. Oh, I said to God: 'I found you out 'cause I know what this laugh 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'. Oh, I said to God: 'Who's winning this game? Is the devil in front?' - He said: 'Is that his name?' 'You know I've been so busy I never asked, I never looked up from this awesome task' I said to God: 'What's good and bad?' - He said: 'It's just something that you've got to have' 'It don't mean nothing to us up here but you're primitive people, you gotta have fear'. Oh, I said to God: 'Do I think for myself?' - He said: 'I told you once you just help yourself' 'Don't you forget you're composed of three, your thinking comes from him and me' Now I said to God: 'How big are you? Is there a religion? Is it true?' 'How big's the universe? Is time the same for you as my life is to mine?' God said: 'If all the things that made worlds float were all to part, then you would note' 'The size of him and the size of me and that's how big we both shall be' He said: 'The universe is small, just like some fortune-teller's ball' 'And we sit down, and we play the game, when somebody wins it all starts again'. 'There's no religion, you did that, it helps to keep your little leaders fat' 'Like faith and superstition stay to help you pa** the time away' 'But when you talk of time and life, it makes me think of circles, heights' 'Expansion is the clue, your dreams are nearer than you've ever been'. 'Now you see my little toy to think is from two bowls of wine to drink' 'Don't take too much or you may drown, behave yourself, see you around'.
