Oh my mind!
I walk down Mayflower Road again
The wailing Sun
Echoes from the park seem so absurd
The bus takes hours
I knew it would
But I can't shake the sting
Can't spend my time
On everybody else
If buildings fell
At least we'd be in matrimony
I can't control
The words kaleidoscope inside my head
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?
All these small things they gather round me
Gather round me
Is it all so very bad?
I can't see
All these small things they gather round me
Gather round me
I saw the police
Screaming something trivial
Like: Keep the peace!
The world moves on and you can't shake the sound
I know she's home
Waiting on somebody
Loathe in light
All in my mind
The anvil and the weight upon my back
Has the world gone mad
Or is it me?
All these small things they gather round me
Gather round me
Is it all so very bad?
I can't see
All these small things they gather round me
Gather around me
And I can't see my love
Has the world gone mad or is it me?
All these small things they gather round me, gather round me
Is it all so very bad? I can't see
All these small things they gather round me
Gather around me
And I can't see my love
And I can't see
