Socrates the Python Lyrics by Peter Murphy

Love Hysteria

0

[Verse 1]
Today
Your problems are not
Of blind belief
That is, or means
Belief ain't enough
Belief ain't enough
The oracle of your age
Points towards the word "psychological"

[Verse 2]
You may freeze, you may fear
You may wince and not hear
You can sick at the heart when I say
"God is one"
Does God the word make you reel?
And I mean, reel

[Verse 3]
But it isn't God, the Father, Son, or Holy One
But the key to your age
Get it together and listen
With all the books on the shelf
All the wisdom
With all the books on the shelf
All the wisdom

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Socrates, Pythagorus
Yin and bloody Yang
Hatha yoga, "omm"
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Old Testament and New
Libraries full of keys
Libraries full of keys
Where's your lock?

[Chorus]
Socrates, Pythagorus
Yin and bloody Yang
Hatha yoga, "omm"
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Old Testament and New
Libraries full of keys
Libraries full of keys

[Outro]
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
(Today) Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
(Your prophets are not) Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
(Obliged) Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
Bennett, Gurdjieff, Jesus
