The Divine Comedy - Mastermind lyrics
[The Divine Comedy - Mastermind lyrics]
Every pupil in the classroom will answer
The same if you ask them
Every mouth shout the message out as one
Every girl weeps like the willow
Every boy cries into his pillow
Every tear disappears in the morning sun
You don't need an indie song to
Figure out what's going on
Tell me that I'm normal
Tell me that I'm sane
Tell me that you feel this too
All the dreams that we have had are gonna
Prove that we're not mad to you
Every nose is a vacuum cleaner
In the loved-up London arena
Every eye flies a dollar sign for me
Every tongue will wag if you want it
Every lung has a shadow on it
Every heart comes apart at the seams
You don't need a mastermind to read
Between the long white lines
Tell me that I'm normal
Tell me that I'm sane
Tell me that you feel this too
All the dreams that we have had are gonna
Prove that we're not mad to you
Well we all need reassurance as we
Play life's game of endurance
Like a nice cup of tea or a cigarette
But don't lean too long on your crutches
Or you'll fall straight into the clutches
Of those who see free expression as a threat
You don't need a law degree to
Set your mind and spirit free
So tell me what the hell is normal
And who the hell is sane?
And why the hell care anyway?
All the dreams that we have had are gonna
Prove that we're all mad and that's ok
The same if you ask them
Every mouth shout the message out as one
Every girl weeps like the willow
Every boy cries into his pillow
Every tear disappears in the morning sun
You don't need an indie song to
Figure out what's going on
Tell me that I'm normal
Tell me that I'm sane
Tell me that you feel this too
All the dreams that we have had are gonna
Prove that we're not mad to you
Every nose is a vacuum cleaner
In the loved-up London arena
Every eye flies a dollar sign for me
Every tongue will wag if you want it
Every lung has a shadow on it
Every heart comes apart at the seams
You don't need a mastermind to read
Between the long white lines
Tell me that I'm normal
Tell me that I'm sane
Tell me that you feel this too
All the dreams that we have had are gonna
Prove that we're not mad to you
Well we all need reassurance as we
Play life's game of endurance
Like a nice cup of tea or a cigarette
But don't lean too long on your crutches
Or you'll fall straight into the clutches
Of those who see free expression as a threat
You don't need a law degree to
Set your mind and spirit free
So tell me what the hell is normal
And who the hell is sane?
And why the hell care anyway?
All the dreams that we have had are gonna
Prove that we're all mad and that's ok
