Lightening strikes, silver motorbikes

roaring down the open road, wind on my skin

Im hungry to begin, my cup has overflown

so let fall the rain down into these desert veins

taking back what they stole

these diamonds in the mine

can afford to become fine

in someone else's pigeon hole



So I made up my mind

made up my mind

gonna move on ahead

instead of lagging behind



Half past seven way up in the heaven

the stars are singing in the sky

lying half dressed, your head upon my breast

listening to the ocean's lullaby

standing where we are, it seems so far

from the cold light of day

with the faces full of grief,

and the grinding up of teeth

has been eating my belief away



So I made up my mind

I made up my mind

gonna move on ahead

instead of lagging behind

instead of lagging now..



Cracks in the veneer and the light so severe

shining down the avenue try to join the throng

but it's feeling all wrong what are you supposed to do

shoulder that despair take a lung of dirty air

turn to watch the sun set red

and the ruins of a culture

of a sky that's filled with vultures

circling over your head



So I made up my mind

I made up my mind

gonna move on ahead

instead of lagging behind

instead of lagging behind



I made up my mind....
