i was slippin through the cracks of a stolen jewel
i was tightrope walkin in two ton shoes
and now somebodys talkin 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 mans 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 somebodies best friend died
i been caught in a mind riot
im tied within
candles burning yesterday like somebodies best friend died
i been caught in a mind riot
im tied within
im lucks last match struck
in a pouring down wind
pouring down wind
pouring down wind
mind riot
mind riot
mind riot
mind riot
