Lyric No Such Thing

There s no such thing as remindlessness
There s no such thing as time
There s no such thing as endlessness
There s no such kind of crime
There s no such thing as distance
There s no such thing as doubt
There s no such thing as magic, no
And if there was well I would have found out
I would ve


I live in the solid world, I don t believe in ghosts
Verification, not imagination, I like my logic the most
A jealous god is a god of law, he taxes numbers and steel
It makes me proud to shout out loud that all these things are real


There s no such thing as surrealism
There s no such thing as soul
There s no such thing as intuition
There s no such thing as rock and roll
There s no such thing as love babe
It s just a chemical in your mind
There s no such thing as coming back


Empirical evidence is hard to find


I live in the concrete now, enjoy my beer and sport
I m not moved if it can t be proved or settled out of court
I don t believe in miracles, and please don t mention the church
Someone said it s all in your head but it wasn t worth the search


I live in the solid world, I don t believe in ghosts
Verification, not imagination, I like my logic the most
A jealous god is a god of law, he wields numbers and steel
It makes me proud to shout out loud that all these things are real
They re real, airy-fairy
Apart from you, and you newfangled whippersnappers and upstarts
I ll believe in what I can touch. That s not much.
It s not my problem if you believe in fairies and elves and gnomes
and genies and witches and goblins and dreams and non-manifest identities.
Inchoate pantheon of non-existent gods.
You can t touch it, don t touch it
