Everything happens
Don't look for patterns
You only perceive what you believe
You need only believe to believe
A map of illusion

What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?

I don't need a mirror to see
Just what has happened to me

Between fact and fiction

And I heard the word spoken
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
Everything happens
Don't look for patterns
You only perceive what you believe
You need only believe and you'll believe
A map of illusion
Of this land of confusion
I see a boy clad in leather
For ever and ever and ever
There's no turning back now
I'm under attack now
I see the skies are open
And I hear the word spoken
You only perceive what you believe
You need only believe to believe
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
What do you know?
