Lyrics

One Track Mind

[Verse 1]

Well, when I was born, I had to spit out a song

To live like I wish, I gotta swim like a fish

So I made an illusion with the aid of delusion

I fixed up a track, and I don't look back

[Chorus]

I got a one track mind

I got a one track mind

I got a one track mind

Over you

[Verse 2]

Well, everything's nice when you're covered in ice

But you open your eyes and it's one big lie

I feel quite at home, in a world of my own

My rule book is thin, it says, "Don't come in"

[Chorus]

I got a one track mind

I got a one track mind

I got a one track mind

Over you

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

I got tracks on my arms and tracks on my face

There's tracks on the walls all over the place

But I don't think I'd miss it if I had you to fix it

I need all your juice for just one night

[Chorus]

I got a one track mind

I got a one track mind

I got a one track mind

Over you

[Outro]

I got a one track mind (All the time)

I got a one track mind

I got a one track mind (Yeah, yeah)

I got a one track mind

I got a one track mind (Ain't got time)

I got a one track mind

Over you

You
