Close to the Mind Songtext
von Gallery 47

I′m not supposed to die for you today
I break my wedding finger for the ring
To fit another obligation which required me to cry out
In a declaration of my value which you'll deny tonight
I′ll never speak a word again but I'll gesture and sigh
To show you're never getting close to my heart
Until you′re close to my mind

I don′t wanna talk 'bout this no more
To people who I′ve still got respect for
Instead I wanna know the drugs they do and where they were got
Or else I'll fly to Pensacola hoping I might get shot
And if you think it′s just a breakdown I assure you it's not
Because you′re never getting close to my heart
Until you're close to my mind


Well my baby Soviet Castro doll is hot
And loaded from a crisis I forgot
Oh the fallout burns but I don't even know
If there′ll be anybody moving here or if I′m alone
To tell the guy from the U.N. she missed the mark
I'll run away to Maginot and rebuild the line
And when you′re crawling through the Belgian border forest you'll find
That people like me lurk from history in our planet minds
Because you′re never getting close to my heart
'Til you′re close to my mind

Well well you've got me insecure
And all my little words are overcomplicated and blind
Or much too middle class or self-important
And the reference now will never be found
So I will write it down in black and white

I loved a girl but now she's out of sight

And I want so much to blame her like she′s Hitler or God
For all the misery the world′s been through but I know I'm wrong
It′s just another bored pathetic case
Of me holding on to a soul too tight
But I know I got one thing right
That you should never let 'em close to your heart
Until they′re close to your mind
