Mind Probe

open up the lines for signal now

we’re looking through the window at the world of walter time

punching his clock in double beat

hoping that the boss will favor me

that’s the world of walter time

alarm clock nightmare never get free

as walter time grows passionless and empty

blood test blues don’t trouble his brain

he’s a good republican and clean

until they do the mind probe  the mind probe

so they can truly grasp him

and they look into a nightmare soul

but perfectly whole

just drifting away

the mind probe  mind probe

so they can understand

and they turn you into a vegetable

but perfectly whole

just drifting away

now walter time has lost his mind

his chosen fate has not been kind

nothing to be done

all his colors flee from him

childhood shadows fade away

and love

one more man who has no face

and never dreams of outer space

that’s the story

no one can escape the pain

and all the normals are insane
