I wonder if I was in Bob Dylan's dream last night

[stilltrucking]

He said to me
there is a a quaker saying
that the bones of whales form the bedrock of the continents
so how can we save the whales.
Yes I know
but it was a dream for christ sake
does it have to make sense.

[stilltrucking]

I would like to believe in intelligent design
I would like to believe that evolution is headed somewhere
I would like to believe we are the crown of creation
I would like to believe in you
But I hardly believe myself
