my mind

I'm just a fish gone from the ocean since the day I 
took a notion that a Friday night in town would be cool. 
Didn't have to think twice, lost my gills shooting dice, 
go back and be the fool of my school. Life used to be a 
garden, now I'm working so hard to keep this loneliness 
from taking me out. I said "This ain't a bad place to start 
the human race." Just when I was beginning to doubt

I started changing my mind, in the face of fear
My mind, no see no speak no hear
My mind, I walked a million years
Changing my mind

So now everybody's talking about the new way of 
walking, didn't look like much to me. I walked 
the cave to the clover with my shoulders 
slumped over, with my hands hanging down 
to my knees. Then here comes Miss Jack 
got her head pulled way back so she can't 
even see the ground. I say "These fads 
last a week then she'll be back like me 
when she gets tired of falling down"
