I was slipping through the cracks of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope walkin in two ton shoes
and now somebody's talking a third world war
(I been caught in a mind riot)
and the police said this is normal control
(I been caught in a mind riot)
And the candles burning yesterday
like somebodys best friend died
I been caught in a mind riot
mind riot
I was crying from my eyeteeth and bleedin from my soul
and I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull
I built an elevator from his bones
(I been caught in a mind riot)
and I climbed to the top floor to stamp out the coals
(I been caught in a mind riot)
Candles burning yesterday
like somebodie's best friend died
I been caught in a mind riot
I'm tied within
Candles burning yesterday
like somebodie's best friend died
I been caught in a mind riot
I'm tied within
I'm luck's last match struck
in a pouring down wind
pouring down wind
pouring down wind
mind riot
mind riot
mind riot
mind riot
