Lyrics
Troubled Mind
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Off she trots to the psychiatric hospital
All she's got is the memory of the girl who used to laugh a lot
Now she's very angry 'cause they say she's lost the plot
And she's laughing in the mirror at her paper dress
'Cause she has a troubled mind
A troubled mind
Rosie Black, she walked up in here wired up on crack
It's for the kids who have low self-esteem
They've got no concept of reality
Living their lives inside a fantasy
'Cause they have troubled minds
Ah, troubled minds
Wipe the white golden dust into these broken hands
Must depend on a friend that will understand
Like the glitter making love to the gleam
Just remember: Things aren't always what they seem, oh
Oh, oh
Peter Pan could not admit he had become a man
He smashed the mirror into a million bits
Now all he seems to do is stare and sit
Painting pictures of a life that he'll never find
Inside his troubled mind
Troubled mind
There's a sweet little guy called Mars
Each night he cries: This ain't the place I'm meant to be
He hides his dreams deep within a wooden box
He hides his secrets deep within his woolen socks
Life will pass him by
Inside his troubled mind
Troubled minds
Wipe the white golden dust into these broken hands
Must depend on a friend that will understand
Like the glitter making love to the gleam
Just remember: Things aren't always what they seem
We can kill for the dust, we need to fill these hands
Can't depend on a friend that will understand
Hate the glitter, we have murdered the dream
Just remember: Things aren't always what they seem, oh
Oh, oh
