In these times of contention, it's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now, I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past
I believe in the worker's revolution
And I believe in the final solution
I believe in, I believe in
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe, I'm not the only one
Yes, I believe in, I believe in
When I poison my system, I take thoughts and twist them into shapes
I'm reachin' my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colors that fill you in
I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going, if to end or begin
I believe in the immaculate conception
And I believe in the resurrection
And I believe in, I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And I believe in the absolute truth
Yes I believe in, I believe in
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
I've fallen from favor while tryin' to savor experience
I'm seein' things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why, it is will be the line
I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in, I believe in
I believe in the things I've never had
And I believe in my mum and my dad
And I believe in, I believe in
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the foreword to end
Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view
My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast
The essence of being these feelings I'm feeling, I just want them to last
I believe in original sin
And I believe what I believe in
Yes I believe in, I believe in
I believe in the web of fate
And I believe, I'm goin' to be late
So I'll be leavin', what I believe in
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

He wrote this song after taking LSD; I think the pill (or windowpane?) was a triangle. The obvious giveaway is, "I'm seeing things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind."
Clearly the world-shattering experience led him to realize he didn't believe in anything anymore, not even love.
The repetition of "There is no love in this world anymore" is so simple and effective. Who'd ever guess the boys who started with "Boredom" (w/its 2-note solo!) would come up with a classic which takes as long to play as this one?
BTW the cover art for the group's last singles before the breakup (i.e. long before they rejoined so much later) was brilliant. Especially "Are Everything".
