Mind Riot

[Verse 1] I was slippin' through the cracks of a stolen jewel I was tightrope walkin' in two-ton shoes Now somebody's talkin' of 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) [Chorus] Candle was burning yesterday Like somebody's best friend died I've been caught in a mind riot (Mind riot) [Verse 2] 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) Had to climb to the top floor to stamp out the coals (I've been caught in a mind riot) [Chorus] Candle was burning yesterday Somebody's best friend died I've been caught in a mind riot I'm tied within [Chorus] Candle was burning yesterday Somebody's best friend died I've been caught in a mind riot I'm tied within [Bridge] I'm luck's last match struck In the pouring down wind Pourin' down wind [Outro] Mind riot Mind riot Mind riot Mind riot
