Mind Games Together

The sound of bass clarinets
they play inside my brain

yeah I'll arrive on time
to put your head at ease
the sound of drummers beats
that occupy my mind

with chains and balls and spikes and all,
I watched the Roman Empire fall, so come on and take me on,
there's nothing left inside me you'll get,
with hands that are dry and eyes that are wet.
The cries you cry wont by your time,
and the chain gang wont find me where I'm hiding..

the sting of the bumblebee
yeah it chases me into the shade,
now there's people staring at me
and they're pressing at me to behave

you have they key in your handbag
and I'm watching the sounds of your wave
try now and understand me please,
because I'm trying my best to rephrase

my seas of sorrow wash away your wall,
just like the roman empires fall,
ive crushed your stone hands
and collected your finger nails to decorate my chest,
I dance the whisky dance and fall for the floor

I wanted to so bad that I took a ride uptown,
we blaze through the casa blazing jukebox gumbo overflowing
and get kicked out of a fancy dress party,
the streets are jammed, hypnotic stars explode
and I'm looking for the cars that used to be on the roads,
I only want to get myself home,

I make my way around the park
until the night turns cold
and I'm losing as I'm choosing my way
the place that I should be
with the solitude I need...
whats the name of this game?

INSANE (The Board Game)
