The Captive Mind Lyrics

Shame to shame when you fell apart But you woke me up when the dreamer came to say, "Please don't forget, just lay and wait" Pain the pain when you played the part And you took it all up and you turned your back away "Try to forget, and well okay."

Read the words of the captive mind And you tried to leave the past behind But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely To come back again, come back again

Well same the same that you've always been When you took it all up what it took to do you in And fall under and run away Blame the blame on a broken heart When you pack it all up and you make a start again But call me up on my birthday

Read the words of the captive mind And you tried to leave the past behind But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely To come back again, come back again
Gone in a boat You're drifting so The walls you built The push and pull Come back again Come back again

Well you love the love but you couldn't stay So you gave it all up for the Mandelay bay The plastic beach and passing plays Shame the shame when you fell apart But you woke me up when the dreamer came to say, "Please don't forget, just lay and wait"

Read the words of the captive mind And you tried to leave the past behind But webs spun slightly, they catch those likely To come back again, please come back again
