If I Could BELIEVE - Elvis Costello, The Roots

If I could believe two and two is five

Two wrongs make a right

Well then, man alive

Lost in my insolence and sneers

That might sound like prayers

If I could believe

If I could believe

You were from heaven sent

Then just losing you

Would be my punishment

But in the hour of disgrace

I might see his face

If I could believe

If I could believe

Then I know I might

Sleep all through the night

But how many times must I wake in fright

Nagging doubts still tugging on my sleeve

If I could believe two and two is five

Two wrongs make a right

Well then, man alive

Lost in my insolence and sneers

That might sound like prayers

If I could believe

If I could believe

If I could believe
