Mind Riot

I was slipping through the cracks of a stolen jewel

I was tightrope walking in two ton shoes

And now somebody's talking of a third world war (I've been caught in a mind riot)

And the police said this was normal control (I've been caught in a mind riot)

And the candle's burning yesterday

Like somebody's best friend died

I've been caught in a mind riot

(Mind riot)

I was crying from my eye teeth and bleeding from my soul

And I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull

I built an elevator from his bones (I've been caught in a mind riot)

And I climbed to the top floor to stamp out the coals (I've been caught in a mind riot)

And the candle was burning yesterday

Like somebody's best friend died

I've been caught in a mind riot

I'm tied within

And the candle's burning yesterday

Like somebody's best friend died

I've been caught in a mind riot

I'm tied within

I'm luck's last match struck

In the pouring down wind

Pouring down wind

Mind riot

Mind riot

Mind riot

Mind riot
