How to Read Your Mind

from Academic​/​Baby Boot Box by George Engel

/

lyrics

I could read your mind, and what's coming next
'cause I know the sign, and I here confess
the whole paradigm, I don't mean just guess
I mean I learned the code, though it was hard at first
a roller coaster road, that went from bad to worst
that just plainly showed, that I was unrehearsed

but now I know it fine, yeah and I proved it when
there when I read your mind, on that needle pin
from like twenty yards, on a fifth of gin
now with line and hook, I could reel you in
Like an open book, I could read your skin
I could play your heart, like a mandolin

I could make you dance, with a wicked tongue
from a simple glance, make you come undone
I could wet your pants, with my water gun
I could read your mind, read your mind, I could read your mind, read your mind
I could read your mind, read your mind... I could
read your mind
I could trace the inner space
of every single hiding place
I know just how you decorate
I know just how you sublimate
and I could see that other man
who's smaller than I think I am
I'll sucker punk him in his ear
cause, I could read his mind from here

yeah, I tried it once, on a subway train
when they closed the doors, and I called your name
without much result, but hey just the same

I could read your mind, and methodology
when I need to find, what you need from me
I just read your mind, to my memory

I just read your mind, read your mind, I just read your mind, read your mind
I just read your mind, read your mind... I just...


in the trailer park where my mother baked
for the parish priest, her sweet biscuit cakes
well, it was late at night but I was wide awake

well, it started then, yeah at the Thunderbird,
how to navigate through all I overheard
how to make some sense without a single word

how to read your mind, read your mind, how to read your mind, read your mind
how to read your mind, read your mind... how to
read your mind
