B-52's - Detour Thru Your Mind Lyrics
Your brain is an ever changing kaleidoscope of moods and coloursWe walk in the park but it's melting in the darkAll of a sudden your mood changes and your face looks like a cake left out in the rainIs your name macarthur parker? or is it reba?Detour thru your mind. supersaver to your mindWe seem to float by yesterday's child. the new you.The land time forgot and a horse with no maneAs we go further into the gloom, we chance upon a large orange roomA key pops out of your nose. we open the doorAnd all of a sudden we realise that we are no moreFrom ear to ear. from here to nowI hear another galaxy spinning aroundWho am i? where am i going? how much will it cost?A flash of blinding light and we're in an elegantly appointed doctor's officeIt seems that doctor aron butterfly wants to dip us in plaster and use us for bookendsWe say to the doctore, "no. please. no!"And then we get the doctor's bill. what a shock!$16,000! and all he wanted to do was dip us in plaster!Detour thru your mind. supersaver to your mindWho am i?Where have i been?Where am i going?Do i need any luggage?(drug-free altered mindscapetalk)I need to leave my past behindI need to leave my behind in the pastBackwards message: i buried my parakeet in the backyard. oh no, you're playing the record backwards. watch out, you might ruin your needle.
