Soundgarden - Mind Riot (2016 Remaster) lyrics

I was slipping through the cracks
Of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope walking in two-ton shoes
Now somebody's talking a third world war
(I've been caught in a mind riot)
And the police said
"This is normal control"
(I've been caught in a mind riot)

The candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
I've been caught in a mind riot (Mind riot)

I was crying from my eye teeth
And bleeding from my soul
And I sharpened my wit's on
A dead man's skull
I built an elevator from his bones
(I've been caught in a mind riot)
Had to climb to the top floor
To stamp out the coals
(I've been caught in a mind riot)

The candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
I've been caught in a mind riot
I'm tied within

The candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody's best friend died
I've been caught in a mind riot

I'm tied within
I'm luck's last match struck
In the pouring down wind pouring down wind
Mind riot mind riot
Mind riot mind riot
