Lyrics
Fill up your mind with all it can know Don't forget that your body will let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know What would we be without wishful thinking? Chambers of chains With red plastic mouths The inside of outside No one has found How to unring the bell It's just as well The turntable sizzles Casting the spells The pressure devices Hell in a nutshell Is any song worth singing If it doesn't help? Fill up your mind with all it can know Don't forget that your body will let it all go Fill up your mind with all it can know 'Cause what would love be without wishful thinking? Open your arms as far as they will go Take off your dress An embarrassing poem Was written when I was alone In love with you I shook down those lines To shine up the streets I got up off my hands and knees To thank my lucky stars that you're not me What would we be without wishful thinking? What would we be without wishful thinking? What would we be without wishful thinking?
