[Verse 1: Björk]

Deus does not exist

But if he does, he lives above me

In the fattest, largest cloud up there

He is whiter than white and cleaner than clean

He wants to reach me


[Verse 2: Björk]

Deus does not exist

But if he does, I always notice him

Getting ready in his airy room

He is picking his gloves so gently off

He wants to touch me

I'm walking humbly down a tiny street

Pulling my collar, it gets bigger, woo

[Interlude: Einar Örn & Björk]

I once met him, it really surprised me (Woo)

He put me in a bathtub

Made me squeaky clean

Really clean


[Bridge: Björk]

To create a universe

You must taste

The forbidden fruit, woo


[Interlude: Einar Örn]

He said, "Hi," I said, "Hi"

I was still clean


[Verse 3: Björk]

Deus does not exist

But if he does, he'd want to get down from that cloud

First marzipan fingers, then marble hands

More silent than silence and slower than slow

Diving towards me

My collar is huge room for two hands

They start at the chest and move slowly down, ooh

[Interlude: Einar Örn & Björk]

I thought I had seen everything (Ooh-ooh)

He wasn't white and fluffy, he just had sideburns

He just had sideburns and a quiff (Ooh)

He said, "Hi," I said, "Hi"

I was still clean

I was squeaky clean

I was surprised

Just as you would be

[Outro: Einar, Björk & Björk]

Deus, Deus

Deus, Deus (He does not exist)

Deus, Deus (He does not exist)

Deus, Deus (He does not exist)

Deus, Deus (He does not exist)

Deus, Deus (He does not exist)

Deus, Deus (He does not exist)

Deus, Deus (He does not exist)

Deus, Deus (He does not exist, oh)

Deus, Deus (Oh, not exist)

Oh, Deus, Deus, he does not exist

Deus, Deus (He does not exist)

Deus, Deus (Ooh-ooh, not exist, he does not exist)
