In Your Mind - Lyrics by Johnny Cash


Lyrics
In Your Mind  In your mindone foot on Jacob's ladder and one foot in the fireand it all goes down in your mind
Livin' at the bottom of the stairs of lifenever a smile knockin' on your doorthe air is blue and so are youprehistoric monsters on the floor
Last verse of your last songand God don't hear dead menthe end of the line is in your mindthen you'll be stayin' in
In your mind In your mind
Bone for bone and skin for skineye for eye and tooth for toothheart for heart and soul for soulsomebody said "
What is truth"?
Lock it up and close it downthe sound of mournin' like a dovehigh beyond the rattlin' roarlookin' to the face of love
[chorus:] In your mind In your mindit all goes down in your mindone foot on Jacob's ladder and one foot in the fireand it all goes down in your mind
In your mind In your mind
Sunday words are back againand you eat your fundamentalist piebut just a piece you understandyou get the rest up in the sky
Praise and glory, wounded angelsshufflin' 'round the roometernity is down the halland you sit there bendin' spoons
In your mind In your mind
Father, Son, and Holy Ghostsacrificial drops of painon a silver plated crosssanctification on a chain
Thay say redemption draweth nighthe storms of silence from abovestop your ears and close your eyesand try to find the face of love
