My senses are lying, they’re playing a trick
This wicked old demon is making me sick
He’s feeding illusions straight into my mind
I’ll leave all the physical limits behind
I’m throwing the apples right out of the cart
I’m doubting the world and I’m ready to start
Cogito, ergo sum! Yeah, I’m a thinking man
But reasoning all night was never in the plan
My circuits are fried and the logic is steep
I think, therefore I am.. going back to sleep
Yeah, hand me my leather, I’m taking a bow
I think, therefore I am.. passing out right now
But wait a minute, babe, I caught him in the act
If I can doubt it all, my doubting is a fact
I am a thinking thing, a spirit wild and free
The melting wax is changing shape right next to me
The smell and the color go up in the flame
But intellect tells me the wax is the same
I got a perfect notion burning in my soul
An infinite creator keeping me in whole
He wouldn’t build a universe to tell a lie
I only make mistakes when my will starts to fly
My judgment gets foggy, I jump off the track
But God gave me reason to carry me back
Cogito, ergo sum! Yeah, I’m a thinking man
But reasoning all night was never in the plan
My circuits are fried and the logic is steep
I think, therefore I am.. going back to sleep
Yeah, hand me my leather, I’m taking a bow
I think, therefore I am.. passing out right now
Six heavy meditations and the demon’s on the floor
I’ve torn the whole thing down and I have built it back for sure
The thirst and the hunger prove I’m mixed in with the meat
I’m nobody’s pilot and I’m nobody’s fleet
The math is always certain, a triangle has three
My mind’s not in my body like a sailor in the sea
The physical is real, the demon’s out the door
Now crank the amplifiers, let the Hammond roar
My mind and my body are tied in a knot
But babe, I am certain of all that I got
Cogito, ergo sum! Yeah, I’m a thinking man
But reasoning all night was never in the plan
My circuits are fried and the logic is steep
I think, therefore I am.. going back to sleep
Yeah, hand me my leather, I’m taking a bow
I think, therefore I am.. passing out right now
The wax is melted
The demon is busted
The reason is trusted
Goodnight, Paris!
