Mind Riot — текст песни (Soundgarden)

I was slipping through the cracks
Of a stolen jewel
I was tightrope
Walking in two ton shoes
Now somebody is talking about a
Third world war
And the police said this was normal control
And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody`s best friend died
And I`ve been caught in a mind riot
I was crying from my eye teeth and
Bleeding from my soul
And I sharpened my wits on a dead man`s skull
I built an elevator from his bones
Had to climb to the top floor just
To stamp out the coals
And the candle was burning yesterday
Like somebody`s best friend died
And I`ve been caught in a mind riot
I`m tied within
I`m luck`s last match struck
In the pouring down wind
