You were running blind
Following your feet to try and outrun your fate
Standing in a field of flowers
Cerebral voices the loudest
All hollering your name
Is it paradise?
Only if it blows your mind
And then blows away
Call you a sinnerman
Or call it second sight
Now they treat 'em all the same
It's the thinnest line they hung you out by
You were holding my hands and saying
What if I only ever took what's mine
I wanted to tell them
That if I could have lead a different life
Could have lead a different life
But now I need somebody who can ease my mind
Need somebody who can ease my mind
You know I could have lead a different life
Could have lead a different life
Pulling me aside
Giving me your last advice
And the whole house shakes
Saying keep it in the family hide it
Don't make the mistakes that I did
'Cos it'll wear your soul away
And I would've tried if only it was black and white
But it's bullet grey
Call you a sinnerman
Or call it second sight
Now they treat 'em all the same
It's the thinnest line to hang you by
Holding my hands and saying
You know I only ever took what's mine
I wanted to tell them
That if I could have lead a different life
Could have lead a different life
But now I need somebody who can ease my mind
Need somebody who can ease my mind
You know I need the remedy to cure my vice
Need the valium to sleep at night
Night
But if I only ever took what's mine
I wanted to tell them
That if I could have lead a different life
Could have lead a different life
But now I need somebody who can ease my mind
Need the remedy to cure my vice
Need somebody who can ease my mind
