Mindshaker Meltdown

(album: Shine - 1989)

Lucy, I'm home from the club
I said-a play that six string thing
Play it for me

That old vicious cycle screaming within
As I talk of the building with the crashing about
The broken glass that slides across his skin
They both cry till exhausted
And end up in each other's arms, yeah yeah yeah

It's a mindshaker meltdown
It's a spreading disease
I've seen it before child
Seen it coming for me

I'm a bad motherfucker
Selfish and sick
You better say your prayers child
'Cause it's coming down quick, yes it is

It's a mindshaker meltdown
Spreading disease, my baby, yes it is yeah
It's a mindshaker meltdown
I hope they come after me

I lost control, her voice like a fire alarm
I realize I coulda hurt my only love
And it seems I transform when she screams her song, yeah
Possessed by a broken window
And her crying for love, yeah yeah yeah

It's a mass jubilation
With jesters and thieves
A kind of group masturbation
As they crucify me

'Cause I'm a Hollywood dream boy
A pinup in their eyes
I represent, mama
All you despise, watch out

It's a mindshaker meltdown
It's a spreading disease my baby, yes
It's a mindshaker meltdown
I hope they come after me, my baby, yeah

It's a mindshaker meltdown
It's a spreading disease, my baby, yeah
It's a mindshaker meltdown
I hope they come on, I hope they come on, I said-a
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, yeah

It's a mindshaker, it's a mindshaker, it's a mindshaker
It's a mindshaker, it's a mindshaker, it's a mindshaker, yeah
It's a meltdown, baby
It's a meltdown, baby
It's a mindshaker
Meltdown, yeah
