LYRICS:

Verse 1:
Give me a minute
'Cos i'm wrapped in superstition
Pour me a chemical
to take away the edge

Pre 1:
Don't make up anything
that's breaking all your fingers
Just slap around a bit of
what it takes to pledge


Verse 2:
Carry out another
stone as a slave
Ask general Know-it-all 
"Who's juggling the earth?"

Pre 2:
Tease all the natives that 
will walk across your grave
And shove aside your nation 
all for what it's worth

Chorus:
Beat yourself blind (x6)
An open eyes and a closed mind

Verse 3:
Look at the suit 
in suspended animation
A faded outline 
that used to be a man

Pre 3:
A piece of paper that's 
fallen out a window
Has got a better chance to know 
where it will land

Chorus:
Beat yourself blind (x6)
An open eyes and a closed mind

Bridge:
To blead in vain
To blead in vain

under my eyes 
are painted skies

Verse 4:
Down at the boneyard
they're diggin up the relics
Handfulls of parasites
thrown into machines
I got the phone call 
they're tearin down the mission
The zombies had a ball
But don't know what it means

Beat yourself Blind
