Try and envision
A religion
Based on smooth transitions and rhythm
Like conjugations across nations
Celebrating the fact that the weekend has landed
We don't believe in omnipotent beings in the skies above
All that exists now is peace, love and green doves
See in our church
We don't recite passage
We keep holy the sabbath as we listen to Nina Kraviz
And we patiently wait at pearly gates which open late
And close somewhere in the early hours
Our church is teeming with sinners in need of redeeming
Heathens ready to believe what we believe in
(I am a minister of sound, must be the green doves kicking in)
Try and envision a religion based upon smooth transitions and rhythm
Shameless, nameless, blameless faces have put
Blind faith in Chase & Status
Their amazing grace is their faith in Faithless
If God is a DJ we pray that he plays
Deep basses
Forever and ever and ever and ever, Amen
Because I am baptised in my own sweat
There's no communion, we've only got community
DJ killing it so much I wrote it a fucking eulogy
Then I can literally feel the music
I am a minister of sound
I've got a choir of high definition speakers
Blasting me with blasphemy and
Sacrilegious instruments
And I've got a glorious chorus of Notorious
And his 10 Crack Commandments
Try and envision
A religion
Based on smooth transitions and rhythm
Like conjugations across nations
Celebrating the fact that the weekend has landed. See
For his final coup de grace
The DJ fixes the switches and triggers a mix
Of Prince's "Kiss" that I've just never heard before
But I am convinced
And those who aren't
They scream One. More. Tune
He says Jack. Go in peace and love
But for God's sake kid, now stay off the drugs
And this is the gospel
According to some deadbeat
