CONFESSING INABILITY TO CONNECT TO GOD

---

And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in. ACROBAT

I try to sing this song
I, I try to get in
But I can't find the door. GLORIA

And I have no religion
And I don't know what's what. ZOOROPA

​I thought I heard the captain’s voice
But it’s hard to listen while you preach
Like every broken wave on the shore
This is as far as I could reach. EVERY BREAKING WAVE

Tell me, tell me, what do you see?
Tell me, tell me, what's wrong with me. WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORLD

I've been in every black hole
At the altar of the dark star
My body's now a begging bowl
That's begging to get back, begging to get back
To my heart. MOMENT OF SURRENDER

Been out in the wild
Been out in the night
Been out of your mind
Do you live here or is this a vacation? VOLCANO

The worst things in the world are justified by belief...
I don’t believe anymore
I don’t believe anymore. RAISED BY WOLVES

God has got his phone off the hook...
Would he even pick up if he could? IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS

So I try to be like you
Try to feel it like you do
But without you it's no use
I can't see what you see... WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORLD

And what am I to do?
What in the world am I to say?
There's nothing else to do
He says he'll change the world some day. REJOICE

Oh to sing this song makes me angry
I'm not angry with you...
​Is that all?
Is that all?
Is that all?
Is that all you want from me? IS THAT ALL?

Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door. IF GOD WILL SEND HIS ANGELS

If I had anything, anything at all
I'd give it to you. GLORIA

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. I STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

I try to sing this song
I, try to stand up
But I can't find my feet. GLORIA

I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside. WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME

I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun...
Not just deaf and dumb, staring at the sun
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind. STARING AT THE SUN

'Cause I'm already gone
Felt that way all along.
Closer to you every day
I didn't want it that much anyway. GONE

I feel numb
Too much is not enough
Gimme some more...
Of that stuff love
Too much is not enough. NUMB
