Soundgarden Mind Riot song lyrics

I was slipping through the cracks of stolen jewel

I was tightrope walking in two ton shoes

And now somebody's talking of third world war

(I've been caught in a mind riot)

And the police said, "This is normal control"

(I've been caught in a mind riot)

Candle's burning yesterday

Like somebody's best friend died

I've been caught in a mind riot

(Mind riot)

I was crying from my eye, teeth and bleeding from my soul

And I sharpened my wits on a dead man's skull

I built an elevator from his bones

(I've been caught in a mind riot)

And I climb to the top floor to stamp out the coals

(I've been caught in a mind riot)

Candle's burning yesterday

Like somebody's best friend died

I've been caught in a mind riot

I'm tied within

Candle's burning yesterday

Like somebody's best friend died

I've been caught in a mind riot

I'm tied within

I'm luck's last match struck

In the pouring down wind, pouring down wind

Mind riot

Mind riot

Mind riot

Mind riot
