"Kinda went for a jazzy feeling with this one. Always imagine myself dressed like one of MJ's Smooth Criminal backup dancers, sat in a dimly lit bar performing to a couple of drunks, one pretty dame and a cloud of cigar smoke."
lyrics
[lyrics]
I'd have hoped by now that you'd shut your mouth
and selfish minds belong together
Have you ever wished for something more
Then realised you'd rather be in the before
You know the sound that plays inside your mind when you make a big mistake
I recommend you get away, 'cause I'm not responsible for what I say
You know the sound that plays inside your mind when you make a big mistake
Apprehend the mind astray, lock it up and throw away the key today
Unprovoked, I mount a strong endeavour
Righteous hopes are wrong forever
Have you ever fought with all your strength
Then realised you've barely made the smallest dent
Wait, what's that I hear
There's a siren in my head
You know the sound that plays inside your mind when you make a big mistake
(You twist and shift all I say)
I recommend you get away, 'cause I'm not responsible for what I say
You know the sound that plays inside your mind when you make a big mistake
(I despair what I bear today)
Apprehend the mind astray, lock it up and throw away the key today
