Lyrics

I've got 12 disciples and a Buddha smile
Garden of Allah, Viking Valhalla
A miracle once in a while
I've got a pantheon of animals in a pagan soul
Vishnu and Gaia, Aztec and Maya
Dance around my totem pole
Totem pole
I believe in what I see, I believe in what I hear
I believe that what I'm feeling changes how the world appears
Hou-ho, ho-ho, ho
Hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho
Angels and demons dancing in my head (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho)
Lunatics and monsters underneath my bed (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)
Media messiahs preying on my fears (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho)
Pop culture prophets playing in my ears (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)
Hou-ho, ho-ho, ho
Hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho
I've got celestial mechanics to synchronize my stars
Seasonal migrations, daily variations
World of the unlikely and bizarre
I've got idols and icons, unspoken holy vows
Thoughts to keep well hidden sacred and forbidden
Free to browse among the holy cows
That's why I believe
I believe in what I see, I believe in what I hear
I believe that what I'm feeling changes how the world appears
Angels and demons dancing in my head (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho)
Lunatics and monsters underneath my bed (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)
Media messiahs preying on my fears (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho)
Pop culture prophets playing in my ears (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)
Angels and demons dancing in my head (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho)
Lunatics and monsters underneath my bed (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)
Media messiahs preying on my fears (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho)
Pop culture prophets playing in my ears
Angels and demons inside of me
Saviors and satans all around me
Angels and demons (and demons) inside of me
All around me
I believe in what I see, I believe in what I hear
I believe that what I'm feeling changes how the world appears
Hou-ho, ho-ho, ho
Hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho
Angels and demons dancing in my head (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho)
Lunatics and monsters underneath my bed (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)
Angels and demons dancing in my head (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho)
Lunatics and monsters underneath my bed (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)
Hou-ho, ho-ho, ho
Hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho
Sweet chariot, swing low (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho)
Coming for me (hou-ho, ho-ho, ho-ho)
