Lyrics
Mindreader
Somebody is laying down tries out back of the arcade
Your weight or a big door prize ? fifteen minutes with the mermaid
And the guy with the hat got another operation, but he still looks the same
Not too bad when you see it in the mirror, not too good for the restrained
I wish I could read minds, but I cannot
10-4 on the lady in the washroom, this was not her idea
Throw down with the cartoon hairdo, put out with the big round feet
I wish I could read minds,
But I cannot see through concrete walls
Stand screaming for more applause
Hang from rafters for no cause but my own
