My Bloody Mind

Blindfolded – this is no parlour game.

Unfold me so I am free again.

A random phrase is as good as any.

You said you want to leave, but I saw you standing there.

I look for a reprieve, but then you just swished your hair.

You live in a modern building. I like to visit.

Men wrestle on the pavement outside. I find it unusual.

A random phrase is as good as any.

You said you'd get your coat, but I saw you standing there.

Your hands were in your pockets. How can you call this fair?

How can you call this fair?

Why do I long for a life that I already have?

When I'm out I must be out of my bloody mind.

Why do I long for a life that I already have?

It was a touching rendition -

I heard you singing in the kitchen,

but have you heard my 'Superstition'?

I don't know your motives yet

and, though we've just met,

now I'm as far away as I can get.

I struggle to define it:

I don't know your motives yet.

Why do I long for a life that I already have?

When I'm out I must be out of my bloody mind.

Why do I long for a life that I already have?

When I'm out I must be out of my bloody mind.
