E
[Chorus]
E B7
In your mind, in your mind.
E A F#
One foot on Jacob's ladder and one foot in the fire
A B7 E
And it all goes down in your mind
[Verse 1]
E A
Livin' at the bottom of the stairs of life; never a smile knockin' on your door.
B7 E
The air is blue and so are you, prehistoric monsters on the floor.
E A
Last verse of your last song and God don't hear dead men.
B7 E
The end of the line is in your mind, then you'll be stayin' in.
[Verse 2]
E
In your mind, in your mind.
E A
Bone for bone and skin for skin; eye for eye and tooth for tooth;
B7 E
Heart for heart and soul for soul. Somebody said "What is truth"?
E A
Lock it up and close it down. The sound of mournin' like a dove,
B7 E
High beyond the rattlin' roar, lookin' to the face of love.
[Chorus]
E B7
In your mind In your mind,; it all goes down in your mind.
E A F#
One foot on Jacob's ladder and one foot in the fire
A B7 E
And it all goes down in your mind
[Verse 3]
E
In your mind, in your mind.
E A
Sunday words are back again and you eat your fundamentalist pie
B7 E
but just a piece you understand; you get the rest up in the sky.
E A
Praise and glory, wounded angels shufflin' 'round the room.
B7 E
Eternity is down the hall and you sit there bendin' spoons.
[Verse 4]
E
In your mind, in your mind.
E A
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Sacrificial drops of pain
B7 E
on a silver plated cross; sanctification on a chain.
E A
Thay say redemption draweth nigh; the storms of silence from above
B7 E
stop your ears and close your eyes and try to find the face of love
[Chorus]
E B7
In your mind In your mind,; it all goes down in your mind.
E A F#
One foot on Jacob's ladder and one foot in the fire
A B7 E
And it all goes down in your mind
[Chorus]
E B7
In your mind In your mind,; it all goes down in your mind.
E A F#
One foot on Jacob's ladder and one foot in the fire
A B7 E
And it all goes down in your mind
