Lyrics

This is the tale I’m afraid’s unfolding

Mini earthquakes and a gun unloading

Volleys of thoughts into the back of my brain

Taking me over like rock cocaine

I don’t do junk, but I’m familiar with the feeling

The ghosts are so close I can hear them breathing

Spitting their bile down the back of my throat

Ain’t you ever wondered why they call it dope?

I used to run around with a head like a soup can

Like a train, popping pills like Pac-Man

But beneath my skin and along my spine

I could feel a fleet of cockroaches prying

Waiting for me to take my first hit

I knew right then I didn’t need that shit

Like a window reflecting time

Livin’ on a planet of my own design

Yeah-ah! Whoo-oh!

I can feel the sugarcane flow

Every time I change my mind (Hear all the people say!)

Yeah-ah! Whoo-oh!

I can feel the sugarcane flow

Every time I change my mind (Hear all the people say!)

It’s like the man said, you gotta move on up

You don’t try to get high, you’re gonna come unstuck

Like knocked-down skittles on a pinball game

You gotta spread your mind—you know what I’m saying?

Beneath the shadow of a moth you hide

When the sugar’s that you face become magnified

Take your life or take religion

But who wants to be one of God’s carrier pigeons?

Spreading the message like Grandmaster Flash (Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!)

Or some devil on a trolley dash

Collecting souls and picking up receipts

You never taste the poison when the sugar's so sweet

And you're praying the game remains the same

Time you dip a spoon into your eggcup brain

When the clock strikes one, put out the streamers

It's gonna be a good day for the dreamers

Yeah-ah! Whoo-oh!

I can feel the sugarcane flow

Every time I change my mind (Hear all the people say!)

Yeah-ah! Whoo-oh!

I can feel the sugarcane flow

Every time I change my mind (Hear all the people say!)

Sweet sugar cane

In on my brain

I don't wanna, I don't wanna go insane

Sweet sugar cane

In on my brain

I don't wanna, I don't wanna go insane

Sweet sugar cane

In on my brain

I don't wanna, I don't wanna go insane

Sweet sugar cane

In on my brain

I don't wanna, I don't wanna go insane, no

Third verse, same as the first

Only this time the sugar hits you in reverse

Spins you around, puts you in a dream

Turns your mind into an elephant balloon machine

There's a trap set, but you shot right through it

Quicker than the human eye, like Hong Kong Phooey

You forget about the funk that you’ve been dragged into

Surfin’ a high, you suck the last glass splinter

Out of your heart, it’s a brand new summer

No longer are you just another young Blade Runner

You're a player in a game that requires no pieces

Rules are just restrictions that the state releases

As the world spins off its hinge

We're all too busy analyzing things

But like I said before, I know how I’m defined

I'm livin' on a planet of my own design (Said)

Yeah-ah! Whoo-oh!

I can feel the sugarcane flow

Every time I change my mind (Hear all the people say!)

Yeah-ah! Whoo-oh!

I can feel the sugarcane flow

Every time I change my mind (Hear all the people say!)

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
