lyrics

My birth was uninvited but accepted
I was warmly welcomed in and treated right
And the demons I would battle found temporary peace
And I became a little angel overnight

The Earth it took to dancing and the Moon was spinning 'round
And soon I saw the world through my own eyes
But cooking in my noggin was a dark and bloody coup
And I was sitting like a goose when it began

'Cause my mind's got a mind of its own
There's another little man in my head
And I'm never quite certain as to what he'll do next
But I'm always ashamed of what he says

Folks would share what's on their mind if they couldn't speak
I quickly learned that honesty's an art
And logic is the golden rule if only in your head
And consistency was missing from the start

'Cause my mind's got a mind of its own
There's another little man in my head
And I'm never quite certain as to what he'll do next
But I'm always ashamed of what he says

I appreciate the effort that you make to miss the point
I hear the change of words as you speak
And we can get along together 'cause we're all so insecure
And fear of retribution keeps the peace

'Cause my mind's got a mind of its own
There's another little man in my head
And I'm never quite certain as to what he'll do next
But I'm always ashamed of what he says
