Let my spirit ride on a one way mule
Blistered skin in a cold hearted room
Distant demotion on a concrete wall
Naked naked
I'll climb right back to you

Love me for my mind
'coz im a dangerous heart
and I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
 
Distant demotion on a concrete wall

CHORUS
 
Love me for my mind
'coz I'm a dangerous heart
And I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
Do you love me for my mind
'coz I'm a dangerous heart
And I've got time to kill
I'm coming back to you
 
Patient, we're all asleep in some danger
RUN MY WAY GO

Love me for my mind
