I'm all supposed to die for you today
I break my wedding finger for the ring
To fit another obligation
which required me to cry out
And a declaration of my value
which you'll deny
Tonight I'll never speak a word again
But I'll gesture inside
To show you're never getting
close to my heart
Until you're close to my mind
I don't wanna talk about this no more
To people who I still got respect for
Instead I want to 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
un til you're close to my mind
When my baby Soviet
Castro doll is high
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 run away to Majinot and rebuild the mine
And when you're crawling through the
Belgian border forest
You'll find that people like me
learn from history
And I've plenty of minds
because you're never getting
close to my heart
Till you're close to my mind
Well, well, you've got me in secure
And all my little words are overcomplic
ated and blind
We're 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
them close to your heart
until they're close to your
mind
You
