Beat Yourself Blind lyrics

Give me a minute 'cause I'm wrapped in superstition

Pour me a chemical to take away the edge

Don't make up anything that's breaking all your fingers

Just slap around a bit of what it takes to pledge

Carry out another stone as a slave

Ask general-know-it-all "Who's juggling the earth?"

Tease all the natives that will walk across your grave

And shove aside your nation all for what it's worth

Beat yourself blind [x6]

An open eyes and a closed mind

Look at the suit in suspended animation

A faded outline that used to be a man

A piece of paper that's fallen out a window

Has got a better chance to know where it will land

Beat yourself blind [x5]

An open eyes and a closed mind

To bleed in vain, to bleed in vain--under my eyes are painted skies

Down at the boneyard, they're diggin' up the relics

Handfuls of parasites thrown into machines

I got the phone call they're tearin' down the mission

The zombies had a ball, but don't know what it means

Beat yourself blind [x6]
