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 they 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 poundin'
So I know I'm doin' fine.
But sometimes findin' you is just like tryin' 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 led me right here.
So I'm not lookin' for burnin' bushes,
Or some divine graffiti to appear.
I'm just beggin' You for Your wisdom,
And I believe You're puttin' 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 poundin'
So I know I'm doin' fine.
But sometimes findin' you is just like tryin' to 
Smell the color nine.

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 poundin'
So I know I'm doin' fine.
But sometimes findin' you is just like tryin' 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 poundin'
So I know I'm doin' fine.
But sometimes findin' you is just like tryin' to

Sometimes findin' you is just like tryin' to, 
Sometimes findin' you is just like tryin' to, 
Smell the color nine.
Smell the color nine.

Nine's not a color.
And if even if it were you can't smell a color, no.
That's my point exactly.
