And when the time arrives for me to offer pearls of wisdom
I’ll be someone who believes

The truth evaporated like water on a hot sidewalk
Beneath the weightless sky
They say it’s the first casualty
They say there’s no one to believe

I used to be immortal, but I’ve gotten over that

And when the time arrives for me to offer pearls of wisdom
I’ll be someone who believes

Believe in the curse, know that it’s real
Believe in the cure, ‘though it’s often concealed
Believe for yourself, don’t listen to me
Not someone’s prime-time trickery

And when the time arrives for me to offer pearls of wisdom
I’ll be someone who believes

Believe in the curse, know that it’s real
Believe in the cure, ‘though it’s often concealed
Believe for yourself, don’t listen to me
Not someone’s faith-based trickery

And when you think it over, think it over
