UNKLE
In a State/God Moving Over the Face of the Waters
[Part 1: John Malkovich]
After 20 years you analyze a lot
You remember people, heroism
Many people come up to me and say that
Had they been there they surely would have died
But it makes no sense
Because until you're in a situation like that...
You have no idea
How you'll behave
Fronted by solitude without decadence
Or a single material thing to prostitute
It elevates you to a spiritual plane
Where I felt the presence of god...
Now there's the god they taught me about at school...
And there is the god that's hidden
By what surrounds us in this civilization...
That's the god I met
[Part 2: Richard File]
My mind is in a state
'Cause all I seem to do is tempt my fate
Well, I try a real space
But all the while, I'm crashin' at the gate
This time, this time
My mind is in a state
'Cause everything I'm missing comes too late
So I try and disappear
But there is only one way out of here
This time, this time
My mind is in a state
But all I need to do is change my pace
And I know there's fear to face
But happiness is found in its embrace
This time, this time
This time, this time
This time, this time
