[00:36.00]Faith may not be such a bad thing.
[00:39.24]Hope can still feel pretty good.
[00:46.47]I'm as mad as any hatter,
[00:55.32]I feel safer touching wood.
[01:07.44]I like totem poles and icons
[01:09.87](icon tact is de rigeur).
[01:12.93]So ring dem bells and pump that organ,
[01:17.52]chants for him and hymns for her.
[02:07.74]'Bracadabra hocus locus,
[02:10.98]magic mush, no room for doubt
[02:16.05]as wailing walls induce psychosis
[02:21.00](beat your braincells inside out).
[02:23.40]Transcendental art's religion,
[02:41.88]thinking you'll improve your mind,
[02:45.87]when all it does (if you're in luck)
[02:50.76]is camouflage the daily grind.
[02:54.72]Nature's harmony's a discord
[03:42.27]if you listen with both ears.
[03:43.68]Poor Gaia's up to here in white noise.
[04:08.19]She cannot assuage your fears.
[04:08.76]Superstition's like religion;
[04:13.89]bonsai version – faintly sad.
[04:16.50]And I know that (I must admit it)
[04:19.89]touching wood is just a bit mad.
