(Minutes to Midnight)
Everybody say God is a good man
(God is a good man)
Ahh, clock on the world
(Yes he's a good man)
And driving a dump truck up to the sun
(Is he a song man?)
A sigh in the human heart
(Three sides to every God)

I look at the clock on the wall
It says three minutes to midnight
Faith is blind when we're so near

Phar Lap floating in a jar
(Sounds like an ending)
Seas full of submarines Awac's like flies
(Minutes to Midnight)
And truth gets harder to define
(Wings like a satellite)
Talking, talking in tongues

But the dancer's hand grips the rail
Fingers will blister on the 88
And hope drains out the side of the page

But ears can't hear
What eyes don't see
And you can't see me

Everybody say God is a good man
(Minutes to Midnight)
Everybody goes 1, 2, 3
(Staring at green lights)
They set up those gunsights in H.G. Wells' backyard
(God is a good man)
I.C.B.M. S.S 20 they lie so dormant yet they got so many

Remember your childhood
Remember the journey
Hope is what you say and do

But ears can't hear
What eyes don't see
And you can't see me

But ears can't hear
What eyes don't see
But ears can't hear
What eyes don't see
And you can't see me

Everybody say God is a good man
