Made Up My Mind

Lightning strikes

And silver motorbikes

Are roaring down the open road

Wind on my skin

I'm hungry to begin

And my cup has overflowed

So let fall the rain

Down into these desert veins

I'm taking back what they stole

While there's diamonds in the mind

Can't afford to be confined

By someone else's pigeonhole

So I made up my mind

I made up my mind

Gonna move on ahead

'Stead of lagging behind

Half past seven

Way up in the heaven

The stars are singing in the sky

Lying half dressed

Your head upon my breast

Listening to the oceans lullaby

Standing where we are

It seems so far

From the cold light of day

Where the faces full of grief

And the grinding of the teeth

Has been eating my belief away

So I made up my mind

I made up my mind

Gonna move on ahead

'Stead of lagging behind

('Stead of lagging now)

Cracks in the veneer

The light so severe

Shining down the avenue

Try to join the throng

But it’s feeling all wrong

What are you supposed to do?

Shoulder that despair

Take a lung of dirty air

Turn to watch the sun set red

On the ruins of a culture

And a sky that's filled with vultures

Circling over your head

So I made up my mind

I made up my mind

Gonna move on ahead

'Stead of lagging behind

'Stead of lagging behind

I made up my mind

I made up my mind
