Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting
Temperature's droppin' at the rotten oasis
Stealin' kisses from the leprous faces
[Verse 2]
Heads are hangin' from the garbageman trees
Mouthwash
Jukebox
Gasoline
Pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets
Smilin' eyes rippin' out of the sockets
[Chorus]
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
[Verse 3]
Love machines on the sympathy crutches
Discount orgies on the dropout buses
Hitchin' a ride with the bleedin' noses
Comin' to town with the briefcase blues
[Chorus]
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
[Verse 4]
Something's wrong 'cause my mind is fading
Ghetto blastin', disintegrating
Rock and roll
Know what I'm saying?
Everywhere I look there's a devil waiting
[Chorus]
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
Got a devil's haircut in my mind
[Outro]
Devil's haircut
In my mind
Devil's haircut
In my mind
Devil's haircut
In my mind
