Detour Thru Your Mind Lyrics

    Your brain is an ever changing kaleidoscope of moods and colours
    We walk in the park but it's melting in the dark
    All of a sudden your mood changes and your face looks like a cake left out in the rain
    Is your name macarthur parker? or is it reba?
    Detour thru your mind. supersaver to your mind

    We seem to float by yesterday's child. the new you.
    The land time forgot and a horse with no mane
    As we go further into the gloom, we chance upon a large orange room
    A key pops out of your nose. we open the door
    And all of a sudden we realise that we are no more

    From ear to ear. from here to now
    I hear another galaxy spinning around
    Who 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 office
    It seems that doctor aron butterfly wants to dip us in plaster and use us for bookends
    We 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 mind

    Who 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 behind
    I need to leave my behind in the past

    Backwards message: i buried my parakeet in the backyard. oh no, you're playing the record backwards. watch out, you might ruin your needle.
