Defense Mechanisms

Horseback riding strife
taking in acrid smoke
you ought to know the smell

Life's a broken road
driven on an iron horse
iron clad, it runs so well

Don't let them whisper into my ear
You know what they'll do
they'll do voodoo

I used to close the drapes
make it all just go away
'till I saw the darnest thing

Red hot tracks
ran a crazy train
unlobotomized brain

Don't let them whisper into my ear
You know what they'll do
they'll do voodoo

Madness undefined
living in an empty box
its amazing what you see

White gloves, white cloves
its all the same to me
gone is my sanity

Don't let them whisper into my ear
You know what they'll do
they'll do witchcraft
they'll do magic
they'll do voodoo
