♪♫Coal Mind Lyrics♫♪

Two black holes staring From deep in the coal mind Murder in mind Murder deep in the coal mind

Aphids and triffids Bump mad into earwigs Eating their way Through the green brain vegetation

Mutter mutter eyelids wonder Twitching in time to troubled slumber Oh mutter mutter eyelids wonder Twitching in time to troubled slumber

Come mine this coal mind Come mind this coal mind

It's dark in here and it's been a long time In need of ignition in need of nutrition There's famine in mind there's murder in mind Blank sockets squinting From the hot coals scorching

More holes in the coal mind The pit is imploding Head lines and hook lines bump blind Into lifelines

Murder in mind Someone throw him a line Murder in mind Someone throw him a line

Oh Madonna Medusa I spy a loser Madonna Medusa I spy a loser Madonna Medusa I spy a loser Madonna Medusa I spy a loser

Ignition nutrition and now ventilation A sigh of relief From deep in the coal mind

Gun blew his roof off Gun blew his roof off Gun blew his roof off Stopped murder in mind Murder in mind

Oh Madonna Medusa I spy a loser Madonna Medusa I spy a loser Madonna Medusa I spy...
