Flaming Telepaths
Well, I've opened up my veins too many times,
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind.
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride.
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies.

Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire,
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do?
Is it any wonder that my joke's an iron?
And the joke's on you.

Experiments that failed too many times,
Transformations that were too hard to find.
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride.
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies.

Yes I know the secrets of the iron and mind,
Their trinity acts a mineral fire.
Yes I know the secrets of the circuitry mind,
It's a flaming-wonder-telepath.

Well I've opened up my veins too many times,
And the poison's in my heart and in my mind.
Poison's in my bloodstream, poison's in my pride.
I'm after rebellion, I'll settle for lies.

Is it any wonder that my mind's on fire,
Imprisoned by the thoughts of what to do?
Is it any wonder that my joke's an iron?
And the joke's on you.
And the joke's on you.
