Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was slippin' through the cracks of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope walkin' in two ton shoes
Now somebody's talkin' a third world war (I've been caught in a mind riot)
And the police said this is normal control (I've been caught in a mind riot)
[Verse 2]
Candle's burning yesterday
Somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
Mind riot
[Verse 3]
I was cryin' from my eye teeth and bleedin' 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)
[Verse 4]
Candle's burning yesterday
Somebody's best friend died
And I've been caught in a mind riot
[Outro]
I'm tied within
Oh, I'm luck's last match struck
In the pourin' down wind
Mind riot
Mind riot
Mind riot
