Act Of The Apostle Part 2 Lyrics

I'm bored out of my mind, too sick to even care

I'll take a little walk, nobody's going to know

I'm in senior year, it gives you a little free time

I'll just use it all at once



Took the fence and the lane, the bus then the train

Bought an Independent to make me look like I've got brains

I made a story up in my head if anybody would ask

I'm going to a seminar



I'm a genius, I'm a prodigy

A demon at maths and science, I'm up for a prize

If you gotta grow up sometime

You've got to do it on your own

I don't think I could stand to be stuck

That's the way that things were going



The bible's my tool, there's no mention of school

My Damascan road's, my transistor radio

I tune in at night when my mum and my dad start to fight

I put on my headphones and I, I tune out, I am an devout

The girls are singing about my life

But they're not here, they've got the, the wild life



If you want to find out, find out

You've got to look them in the eye

That's why my only choice

Is find the face behind the voice



And she asked the man if the service was open

Not today, just the choir from the radio

Could not sit in I've come all this way

Will you bugger off, I've got work to do

The city was losing its appeal, God was asleep

He was back in a village, in the fields



Oh, if I could make sense of it all

I wish that I could sing, I'd stay in a melody

And I would float along in my everlasting song

What would I do to believe?
