Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Theologians
They don't know nothin'
'Bout my soul
'Bout my soul
I'm an ocean
And this emotion
Slow motion
Slow motion
[Bridge]
Illiterati lumen fidei
God is with us every day
That illiterate light
Is with us every night
[Verse 2]
Theologians
Oh, they don't know nothin'
About my soul
Oh, they don't know
They thin my heart with little things
And my life with change
Oh, in so many ways
I find more missin' every day
Theologians
[Bridge]
I'm goin' away where you will look for me
Where I'm goin', you cannot come
And no one's ever gonna take my life from me
I lay it down, a ghost is born, a ghost is born, a ghost is born
[Outro]
I'm a notion
All emotion
I'm a cherry ghost
Cherry ghost
Hey, I'm a cherry ghost
A cherry ghost
