There's no ghost in this machine
I make my own mistakes
We seem like skeletons
With bonehead beliefs

History straight crucified
Human supernaturalize
We hope
We're not alone

Exploded stars and space debris
Time itself can make some things
A ghost
Is that all?

What was there before the bang
How did nothing come to end
At once
Let's ask the atheists

Let's ask the atheists
The astronauts
The mystics of the amazon
The priests, the cults, the wiccans, the pope!

The crystal ball, the fear of god, the tarot cards, the dowsing rod
Theologians, alchemists
Black magicians, physicists

Say no
Say we don't know

Cults arise from egos
Sick with poltergeists and feelings

Tune your tv to the snow
Watch the first thing ever known
It's always on

When nothing's over what was there
How did nothing come to end
At once

Let's ask the atheists
Let's ask the astronauts
Let's ask the priests, the cults, the wiccans, the pope!

Dice! the monks! shamen! the nuns!

Buddah! the holy ghost! sickness! the philosophes!

Meditators, pyramids, mathematicians, acidheads

Theologians, alchemists, black magicians, physicists

Say no
Say we don't know

Cults arise form egos
Sick with poltergeists and feelings
