Mind Control

I sort of dabbled into mind control
Had an epiphany to save my soul
I wanna keep 'em on a thin tightrope
Like I'm a king and you're a dope
I did a yoga class and ate the 'shroom
I read the books about the day of doom
I closed my eyes and channeled energy
And let the spirits get the best of me

I saw a ghost, I saw a spectre too
But I never took control of you
I sold my house and started hugging trees
I taped shamanic drums to both my knees
I started breathing like a giant whale
And switched the cocaine for a patch of kale
My mind's my weapon, and I fire it
The shower's broken, and I smell like shit

And now I am leaving the city
I'm moving into my head
I'm going back to nitty-gritty
I wanna live in a shed
Out of my wit, into my mind
I rip my eyes out 'cause I wanna go blind

I tended to my crops in full moonlight
Let golden rays caress my sphincter tight
I shot the TV, and I quit the news
Ditched all my jeans and now I keep it loose
Self-flagellation on Saint Walburgas Eve
I get my blotters in the mail from Steve

I sort of dabbled into mind control
I sold my records, and I bought my soul
I sold my records, and I bought my soul
I sold my records, and I bought my soul
I sold my records, and I bought my soul

And now I am leaving the city
I'm moving into my head
I'm going back to nitty-gritty
I wanna live in a shed

And now I am leaving the city
I'm moving into my head
I'm going back to nitty-gritty
I wanna live in a shed
Out of my wit and into my mind
I rip my eyes out 'cause I wanna go blind

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey
Oh
