In your mind, in your mind One foot on Jacob's ladder And one foot in the fire And it all goes down in your mind Living at the bottom of the stairs in your life Never a smile knocking on your door The air is blue and so are you Prehistoric monsters on the floor Last verse of your last song And God don't hear dead men The end of the line is in your mind And you'll be staying in In your mind, in your mind Bone for bone and skin for skin Eye for eye and tooth for tooth Heart for heart and soul for soul Somebody said what is true Lock it up and close it down The sound of morning like a dove High beyond the rattle and roar Look into the face of love In your mind, in your mind One foot on Jacob's ladder And one foot in the fire
And it all goes down in your mind In your mind, in your mind Sunday words are back again And you'll eat your fun of the middleman's pie But just a piece you understand You'll get the rest up in the sky Praise and glory, wounded angel Shuffling round the room Eternity is down the hall And you sit there bending spoons In your mind, in your mind Father, son and holy ghost Sacrificial drops the pain On a silver planet cross Sanctification on a chain They say redemption draws knives Storms of silence from above Stop your ears close your eyes Try to find the face of love In your mind, in your mind One foot on Jacob's ladder And one foot in the fire And it all goes down in your mind
