Lyrics

Here we go--beautiful day--sun is shining--wind is blowing

I was walking down the street feeling light on my feet
nothing really on my mind
Then I saw a slender brunette looking back at me--
then she looked back a second time
I really wasn't looking for someone to meet but the
way she moved was a crime
So I turned around to see if I could get a better look--
I swear I must be blind
'cause she was gone--gone, in the blink of an eye
I looked to the left and I looked to the right
Am I losing my mind?

So I kept on walking just scratchin' my head
thinkin' what is goin' on?
I started walking fast just to get on past the thought
of her legs being so long
Then just like that--at the drop of a hat, a blue eyed blonde was winkin'
So I turned around to see if I could get a better look
I know I must be blind, "cause she was gone--gone
in the blink of an eye--I looked to the left and I looked to the right
I know I'm losing my mind

CHORUS: I heard of a thing called mind over matter
but its never really mattered to me
I heard about, read about, Talked about it too
but it's never really happened to me
I know you only see what your eyes let you see
but I wonder if this is a sign
So if mind over matter is whats happened to me
I think I'd just rather be blind

Let me get it straight so I'll understand whats
goin' on in my head
I don't think I'm dreamin', I know I'm not schemin'
Surely I can't be dead
I saw, not one, but two girls flirtin' with me
It had to be in my mind
When I turned around to get a second look, there was nothing but
space and time--they were gone--gone
in the blink of an eye--I looked to the left and I looked to the right
Am I losong my mind?

GUITAR SOLO:

REPEAT CHORUS:

(talk) I'll tell you, man---what a day!
I can't wait to see what I see next!

My mind's playin' tricks on me
(talk) Maybe it'll be a red head this time!

My eyes see what they want to see
(talk) You know I just can't wait

My mind over matter has got me kinda scattered
can't you see?
I guess my mind don't really matter if my eyes are seeing better---what's next for me?
