If You Believe It. lyrics

If you believe it
Toby Roktot.
capo 2. G/D/C

No vessel has been created
that will contain truth
Lies, can change your mind

What is…is. Enjoy it.
Worrying about it
Is a waste of time

If you believe it…x. 4

Believing can be a road
to a bitter ending
wishes and hopes
might not come true

Following your heart
Can be impossible to do
Love is impulsive
when it’s new

If you believe it…x. 4

Walk a fine line
Between love and hate
Hoping you’re right
Before it’s too late

Don’t let lies…
change your mind
If you believe it….
You’ll be fine

If you believe it…x. 4

Good evening my dear, here's a substitute fear -- you know you need it.
A means to an end, you know it merely depends on where you read it.
You tell me it's smart, it's fresh, it's state of the art -- I think I need it.
Logic defied, is it a truth or a lie? Please don't perceive it

Confirmation: lining up numbers
Confirmation: stacking up facts
Calculated on the back of an envelope
Find more evidence to redact
Conjuration of terracotta figures
Destination based on how you act
Condemnation lest you take this communion
Segregation never had much tact

Forget what's real, pay no mind to how you feel, just receive it
Connect the disparate threads, you need to take these meds -- we know you need it
Over years of time we took control of your mind, and we won't leave it.
Believe it or not, you can think your own thoughts if you'd believe it

Confirmation: lining up numbers
Confirmation: stacking up facts
Calculated on the back of an envelope
Find more evidence to redact
Conjuration of terracotta figures
Destination based on how you act
Condemnation lest you take this communion
Segregation never had much tact


More xenharmony going on here: I used 11edo instead of 12edo, meaning that the interval between each note is 109.09c instead of the standard 100.00c. You end up with a great harmonic 7th, a nearly just minor third, but nothing resembling a 5th or a 4th.

Ahab wanted to go to war,
So he asked four hundred prophets
Who said, “You’ll be okay for sure.
The Arameans have already lost it.”
But Micaiah came and told the king,
That dogs would lick his blood.
Zedekiah didn’t believe this thing,
And struck Micaiah where he stood.
Ahab died from an arrowhead
Shot where he couldn’t see it.
A lie can make you cold and dead,
If you believe it.

All along the Street of the Gods,
New cults moved back and forth,
Strung along the promenade,
Trying to show their worth.
Most of the gods in Lankhmar
May not have even existed,
But the old gods of Lankhmar
Are not to be resisted.
When the city’s ancient gods arise,
The time has come to flee it.
Abandon those who trade in lies,
Even if you believed it.

Columbus thought he went to China.
But the earth is flat.
Oh, no, it’s hollow.

A guy out in Indiana
Called himself Tenskwatawa.
Paintings show him in a bandana
And steel armor on his collar.
He told his men he’d cast a spell
So the bullets wouldn’t hurt them.
Of course, that didn’t go too well,
And his followers began to desert him.
The warriors came back and said to him,
“We know a false prophet when we see it.
We’re never going to listen to you again,
You’d best believe it.”

I feel that she loves me
this elf without a care
a thousand years I see
with dreams all in her hair

and if you believe it

she'll love you too, she'll love you too, she'll love you too

I know I can feel her
my elf love everywhere
a million dreams later
and so much more to share

and if you believe it

she'll love you too

she says never stop your dreaming
not everything is found with reason

I dream that I hear her
she's singing to a bear
a billion songs later
she's still got tunes to spare

and if you believe it

she'll love you too, she'll love you too, she'll love you too

she says never stop your dreaming

Robot voice:
It's 70 in December, what the hell is going on?

Verse 1
If you wanted winter
I don't know what to say
it's hotter outside right now
than independence day

Chorus 1
If you believe it it's December 25th
The leaves are turning green again
Air is more stale than Taylor Swift

Robot Voice 2:
The West Coast is gone, where is your God now?

Verse 2
If you wanted snow boy
I don't know what to do
the only thing white around here
are the polar bears at the zoo

Chorus 2
If you believe it it's December 25th
The leaves are turning green again
It's kinda unusual if you catch my drift

Chorus 3
If you believe it it's December 25th
Now change back the radio from Mariah to Aerosmith

Eyes are watching all the time
If you're sleeping or if you're awake
They control the present, the future
There can be no escape

Every record has been destroyed
Every relic has been renamed
Every book has been rewritten
Every problem can be explained

Don't be surprised when you wake up one day
Listening to what all the pundits have to say
Everything is broken, even what you thought you knew
If you believe it then it must be true

There's no use fighting the telescreen
No erasing the sanctioned ink
When thoughts are crimes against the machine
It's a crime to learn to think

So to the future or to the past
To a time when thought is free
To a time when truth exists
Will you remember me?

Don't be surprised when you wake up one day
Listening to what all the pundits have to say
Everything is broken, even what you thought you knew
If you believe it then it must be true

The face gazing at the wall
It follows your move, your every move
You answer the iron call
You must be approved or you'll be accused
And the only secret you can keep
Is the secret you keep from yourself

Don't be surprised when you wake up one day
Listening to what all the pundits have to say
Everything is broken, even what you thought you knew
If you believe it then it must be true

I’ve got an opportunity
That you wouldn’t believe!
I’ve got a bridge to sell you,
and there’s more up my sleeve.

These watches are all Rolexes,
These purses designer!
The prices are all low,
But no quality is finer!

No need to spread the word
It’s you and me we don’t need more
Too many customers
Already banging at my door

Now, other folks would shake their heads,
“It’s too good to be true!”
But you’re smarter than them,
You brilliant you!

I’ve got the deeds for monuments!
This stock’s a sure bet!
This painting is priceless,
they just don’t know it yet!

No need to spread the word
It’s you and me we don’t need more
Too many customers
Already banging at my door

You’re getting in early!
Invest in my plan!
You know you can trust me,
I’m a confident man!

This tonic cures what ails you,
This machine can make rain!
It’s normal to doubt me -
If you don’t have a brain!

…The delivery for all these goods
I must postpone
But since you soon will be wealthy,
Could you give me a loan?

[king_arthur]

Sent you a valentine bright red and blue
It said if you'll be mine I'll be good to you
So now I'm waiting here for your reply
And if you believe it you'll make me a happy guy.

Sent you another card for Halloween
A little creepy but it wasn't mean
Inside a scary ghost with spooky eyes
And if you believe it, baby here comes your surprise.

I'm gonna whisper stories
Right in your ear
I'm gonna tell you
All the things I think you wanna hear.

Inside your Christmas card, there's a pop-up tree
I'm hopin' when you open it you will think of me
And when you're ready, down from the sky I'll come
If you believe it, baby, if you're that dumb

I'm gonna whisper stories
Right in your ear
I'm gonna tell you
All the things I think you wanna hear.

I'm writing you a birthday card
In my birthday suit
I'm writing you a birthday card
In my birthday zoot suit.

There are objects in the sky
That I can't identify
But I don't know if you believe it
I don't know if you believe it

Deep in Area 51
They know, we know what's going on
But I don't know if you believe it
I don't know if you believe it

Haven't you heard?
The world's run by a cabal
Don't breathe a word
They'll just say you're delusional

The moon shots were faked
And Macca's been replaced
But I don't know if you believe it
I don't know if you believe it

Haven't you heard?
The world's run by a cabal
Don't breathe a word
They'll just say you're delusional

We need to face the fact
That the earth is flat
But I don't know if you believe it
I don't know if you believe it
I don't know if you believe it
I don't know if you believe it
I don't know if you believe it

Am Dm Am Dm Am E7 Am
Every year at Christmas time she ladles up a mug of wine
And spins her yarn about that farm
And the silo sitting lonely by the breeding barn

She tells of how her car broke down about 5 miles out of town
The oil pan was empty and the
rods were wearing loose and making knocking sounds

She slowed it to a cattle road, set out on foot to call a tow
and found herself in 3 fresh feet of snow

F C E7 F C E7
The path of least resistance
was a single set of footprints
Leading toward a silo on the hill

Maybe there’s a house nearby,
with ham hocks hanging warm and dry
Where she could wait and fend off wind and chill

G F Am
And she’ll ask if you believe it
And you’ll say sure im listening, lets hear it

These tennis shoes and cotton socks
Were fine for paths of dirt and rocks
But not for trudging aimlessly in snow

She trained the pain into her brain
And caught a whiff of winter grain
And as she neared the silo seemed to grow


Whose fields are these she thought she knew
A cloud blew by as if on cue
The moon cast shadows with his bluish hue

A window in the silo’s wall
A picture frame around it all
And a figure of a man came into view

And she’ll ask you if you believe it
And you say sure, i guess, some kind of spirit?

This man stood six foot tall she guessed
All dressed in white his suit was pressed
He stared up through that silo’s rotten roof

And the snow that fell collected there
Upon his shoulders and his hair
And she noticed that this man had not yet moved

His marble skin his subtle grin
She know that face but could not place
that countenance it felt like he was kin

She closed her eyes and thought and thought
And realized it was Willard Scott
Carved in stone and sheltered from the wind

And as she thought I’d better go,
My engine’s shot my feet are cold,
A muffled noise resounded from below

Her car was idling quietly
Her shoes were warm upon her feet
And the chilling wind at once had ceased to blow

Inst chorus

And as she began to walk back down
She heard a sound and turned around
His head and shoulders centered in the frame

She stops and pours another drink
Then adds I think I saw him wink
Then she takes off as quickly as she came

G
And you wonder, do I believe it?
F
If it’s a lie she took some time to conceive it.
E7
Then you google some keywords, and say wow, holy shit

If You Believe It
By The Mellfire Trifecta

When was it decided that I would never have a vote?
I read about it in that cryptic letter that you wrote
And it feels like
Our plans were just a house of cards disguised as real life
No more real than all the clues
We don’t collect anymore
Like the wedding cards all pasted on the door
“All our love to the happy couple!”

Loyalty and laughter, currency we had to spare
In a separate world, ignoring non-lovers’ stares
And it felt like
Nothing dared disturb the calm that we created
Cause we’d blow it all away
To drink our wine, and float downstream
Squander all our time, eat ice cream

When did we forget how to find
What had always been there before?
I think we just opened our minds
And did not keep score

I know that you don’t want to leave me
Babe we can’t be locking on perfection, it comes and goes
Love is true if you believe it
Don’t be afraid of what we can’t see, or cannot know

If You Believe It
By Dave Stiles

Now, the kids went to bed
and and said their prayers
So what’s that noise
I hear upstairs?
I went up to check
And what did I see?
Two little eyes,
staring back at me

I said it’s Christmas Eve
and you should be sleepin’
Not sneaking around
spyin’ and peeping’
So close you eyes
and make a wish
And soon you’ll be waking up
to all your gifts.

You can’t rush the magic
It’ll come in time
If you believe it
You’ll have a magical Christmas time

Years ago
When I was a boy
The wish book would come
And I’d pick out a toy
I’d wait and wait
and anticipate
For the advent calendar
To hit that date

It was always exciting
On Christmas Eve
Santa’d come and visit
My sister and me
He looked in our eyes
And said these words
The sweetest sound we ever heard

(Chorus)

Do you feel the magic?
Do you feel the magic?
Do you feel the magic?
Do you feel the magic?

For the rest of my life
I’ll never forget
Those Christmas times
Were the best it gets
Matchbox racetracks
and H.O. trains
A brand new bike
And some video games
It wasn’t all about the presents
There was lots of love
For mom and dad
And the lord above
And when I think about it
I get tears in my eyes
Wait, what’s that?
Streaking ‘cross the sky

(Chorus X2)
