Speak Your Mind Songtext
von Joe Firstman

July came to me like an angel
And I warmed to her, I took to her like a handout
And so I wait for her like a check in the mail
And I slept with her in a dream last night
Well, I was lying like a salesman
Down on that boulevard
She would barter for a tightrope
Like a discount spool of yarn

I′ve been messing up
You've been resting
I guess I should get some sleep sometime
I′ve been reaching in my bag
Joking like a hag
And you will always speak your mind


And you were sleeping like a baby
After painting your decisions on the wall
And I was weighing all your wishes in my head
Instead you caught me out there wandering the halls
And I was sicker than a cancer
But you were pivotal in my recovery
Out the door you came
Knowing you would never stay
Knowing I could never ever leave

I've been messing up
You've been resting
I guess I should get some sleep sometime
I′ve been reaching in my bag
Joking like a hag
And you will always speak your mind

What you don′t know (You don't know)
What you don′t know (You don't know)
What you don′t know (You don't know)

I′ve been messing up
You've been resting
I guess I should get some sleep sometime

I've been reaching in my bag
Joking like a hag
And you will always speak your mind


You will always speak your mind
You will always speak your mind
(Deep down in my bed)
You will always speak your mind
You will always speak your mind
(That′s right)
You will always speak your mind

Love ain′t nothing I can't afford
Lift my weary head
Up from the devil′s bed and lead me home

Lead me and believe me, Lord
Love ain't nothing I can′t afford
Lift my weary head
Up from the devil's bed and lead me home

(Come on now, yeah)
Lead me and believe me, Lord
Love ain′t nothing I can't afford
Lift my weary head
Up from the devil's bed and lead me home
(Oh, let me put my burden on you, Lord)
Lead me and believe me, Lord
Love ain′t nothing I can′t afford
Lift my weary head
Up from the devil's bed and lead me home

(Oh no, no)
Lead me and believe me, Lord
