Hoodoo Gurus - Dead Sea Lyrics

I saw God in the desert
in some burning bushes.
I heard God on the mountain
in a cave of whispers,
moving over the water,
gathering the fishes,
watching sheep in the meadow
while the shepherds slumbered.
I know that it really means nothing.
I know that it never can happen.

People reading the Bible
like it's holy scripture.
Taking words out of context,
now devoid of meaning.
Using heaven for hatred - almost universal.
Ignorance is the Devil.
Knowledge was the first sin.

I know that it really means nothing.
I know that it never can happen.

Why won't anyone listen
when the Prophet's talking?
No more miracle-makers,
not since television.
Damned to live in the present.
This eternal moment.
Blessed gift of existence.
Clinging to a mystery.

I know that it really means nothing.
I know that it never can happen.
I know.
