I cannot read minds and it's taking its toll
I might leave in an ambulance but I will leave in control
And they won't recognize me, not one single one of them
No, they won't see me going or coming back again
No, they won't see me going or coming back again

So shine out a light
Then I can see where I'm gonna go
And take the chill out of night
Until the morning helps me out

I cannot read minds and nobody will speak
It's all getting older by the week
So swing on a hinge, construct a joint
Rotate round at fixed points
Rotating around at fixed points

It wasn't right
But then the energies work for me
They took the chill out of night
And let the morning help me out

Well, I cannot read minds so give me a line
And I will act it out in real time

A fear is warm and cities burn
If you can't be fair at least be firm
Some must leave, others return
And everybody's got a lot to learn

So shine out a light
Then I can see where I'm gonna go
And take the chill out of night
Until the morning helps me out

So shine out a light
Then I can see where I'm gonna go
And take the chill out of night
Until the morning helps me out
