Lyrics

I took a wife 'cause it's the thing to do
Didn't you when you were young, thought it was gonna be fun
Now it's humdrum and my life's barely ticking over
Used to be a Casanova, now I work all day
For nearly no pay and I have to say
I got another girl going from around the way
I told her so many lies looking right in her eyes
Only now I realize there's a price to pay
My wife's withdrawn (You dig?)
Only last week she said she wished she'd never been born
What's going on? I know she don't know
But she oh so sad, make me feel bad
Is it true what they say about cause and effect?
I'm like a fish in the sea caught in a net
I'm in a sweat, getting upset, full up of regret
And you know it ain't over yet
(Lose your mind) Lose your mind
(Do you wanna go deep?)
(Lose your mind) Wake up, wake up
(Wake from your sleep) Am I disturbing your sleep?
(Lose your mind) Yeah, lose your mind
(Do you wanna go deep?)
(Lose your mind) So wake up, wake up
I had a friend lend me a book, I took a look, bit the hook
And it shook me to the core, I read more and more
'Til my head was sore, meaning
It put into words some of the things that I was feeling
See, people always chatting 'bout reality
But their reality is simply only what they can see
And there's more, much more, I'm coming off the fence
'Cause the nonsense has got to cease, I want peace
If I make a cause, effect always follow
So I pause before I affect my tomorrow
To reflect, disconnect my intellect
And respect how I feel (For real)
The environment I live in is unforgiving
So I have to find my peace from within
Listen, huh, the world works from the inside out
Give me a shout if you know what I'm talking about
(Lose your mind) Lose your mind
(Do you wanna go deep?)
(Lose your mind) Wake up, wake up
(Wake from your sleep) Am I disturbing your sleep?
(Lose your mind) Lose your mind
(Do you wanna go deep?)
(Lose your mind) So wake up, wake up
Yeah
Wake up, wake up
I could see this dragging on and on
So I know I'm the one that's gonna have to be strong
I took responsibility and told my wife
Of my ability to lead a double life
Thought she was gonna freak, nope
She see my honesty is cause for hope
The truth is like soap, now I'm clean
Throw your hands in the air if you know what I mean
Me and Irene acting like seventeen
I'm the king, she the queen
I've seen all the bad causes which made such a mess
Now what we do is to the K to the I double S, yes
Truly my environment reflects me
When I respect myself, my universe protects me
Lets me transform, keeps me warm
When I'm looking for peace in the middle of the storm
(Lose your mind) Yeah, lose your mind
(Do you wanna go deep?)
(Lose your mind) Wake up, wake up
(Wake from your sleep) Am I disturbing your sleep?
(Lose your mind) Lose your mind
(Do you wanna go deep?)
(Lose your mind) So wake up, wake up
(Wake from your sleep)
(Lose your mind) Lose your mind
(Do you wanna go deep?)
(Lose your mind) Wake up, wake up
(Wake from your sleep) Am I disturbing your sleep?
(Lose your mind) Yeah, lose your mind
(Do you wanna go deep?)
(Lose your mind) So wake up, wake up
(Wake from your sleep)
(Lose your mind)
(Wake from your sleep)
(Lose your mind)
(Wake from your sleep)
