In your mind, in your mind   One foot on Jacob's ladder   And one foot in the fire   And it all goes down in your mind      Living at the bottom of the stairs in your life   Never a smile knocking on your door   The air is blue and so are you   Prehistoric monsters on the floor      Last verse of your last song   And God don't hear dead men   The end of the line is in your mind   And you'll be staying in      In your mind, in your mind   Bone for bone and skin for skin   Eye for eye and tooth for tooth   Heart for heart and soul for soul   Somebody said what is true      Lock it up and close it down   The sound of morning like a dove   High beyond the rattle and roar   Look into the face of love      In your mind, in your mind   One foot on Jacob's ladder   And one foot in the fire   And it all goes down in your mind      In your mind, in your mind   Sunday words are back again   And you'll eat your fun of the middleman's pie   But just a piece you understand   You'll get the rest up in the sky      Praise and glory, wounded angel   Shuffling round the room   Eternity is down the hall   And you sit there bending spoons      In your mind, in your mind   Father, son and holy ghost   Sacrificial drops the pain   On a silver planet cross   Sanctification on a chain      They say redemption draws knives   Storms of silence from above   Stop your ears close your eyes   Try to find the face of love      In your mind, in your mind   One foot on Jacob's ladder   And one foot in the fire   And it all goes down in your mind
