John Wesley Harding - Your Mind's Playing Tricks on You Lyrics

Only our weirdest predictions come true
Turns out that the world don't revolve around you
If it feels unfamiliar, that's 'cos it's new
You just need to know who's who in the zoo
Your mind's playing tricks on you
Telling stories that were never true
Think the devil's got a fix on you
Your mind's playing tricks on you
You put all your faith in the powers that be
Sure they look divine, but they're not Gods to me
Act like you're not guilty, maybe it'll come true
You'll never be her, she'll never be you
And your mind's playing tricks on you
Telling stories that were never true
Think the devil's got a fix on you
And your mind's playing tricks on you
Your mind's playing tricks on you
Gets too dangerous to think things through
Till you think I'm not in love with you
That's your mind playing tricks on you
Empty your thoughts, meditate on me
Well, I'll be your mantra if you want me to be
What now looks shabby will soon seem sublime
Tomorrow finally comes and lasts a long time
And your mind's playing tricks on you
Telling stories that were never true
Think the devil's got a fix on you
It's your mind playing tricks on you
And your mind's playing tricks on you
Gets too dangerous to think things through
But if you think I'm not in love with you
It's your mind playing tricks on you
