Just give me the news It can all be lies Exciting over fair or the right thing at the right time Everything is clear Just how you described The way it appears, "A world possessed by the human mind"
Then I think I smiled Then I think you said, "it's fine" And quietly I dressed, in a world completely possessed by the human mind
We're in awe of no one We've none of their fear Fighting's goin' nowhere and we stay right here Where everything is quiet A little super dangerous "In the shadow of the law and with colours of justice"
Then I hope I smiled Then I'm sure you said, "It's fine" They got no interest in a world completely possessed by the human mind
Everything is quiet A little super dangerous Quiet enough to hear God rustlin' around in the bushes Oh, but it was you Girl, I was so afraid You said, "You shoulda seen the look on your face"
Then I hope I laughed Then I hope I said, "it's fine" And quietly undressed in a world completely possessed by the human mind
Oh it was you Girl, I was so afraid You said, "You shoulda seen the look on your face"
