I would take no for an answer
Just to know I heard You speak
And I'm wondering why I've never
Seen the signs they claim to see
Are the special revelations
Meant for everybody but me?
Maybe I don't truly know You
Or maybe I just simply believe

'Cause I can sniff, I can see
And I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps pounding So I know I'm doing fine
But sometimes finding You is just like trying to
Smell the color nine
Smell the color nine

Now I've never 'felt the presence
But I know You're always near
And I've never 'heard the calling
But somehow You've lead me right here
So I'm not looking for burning bushes
Or some divine graffiti to appear
I'm just begging You for Your wisdom
And I believe You're putting some here

'Cause I can sniff, I can see
And I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps pounding so I know I'm doing fine
But sometimes finding You is just like trying to
Smell the color nine

'Cause I can sniff, I can see
And I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps pounding so I know I'm doing fine
But sometimes finding You is just like trying to

Well, I can sniff, I can see
And I can count up pretty high
But these faculties aren't getting me any closer to the sky
But my heart of faith keeps pounding so I know I'm doing fine
But sometimes finding You is just like trying to
Sometimes finding You is just like trying to
Sometimes finding You is just like trying to
Smell the color nine

Smell the color nine?
But nine's not a color
And even if it were you can't smell a color
That's my point exactly
