In smoky museums of relics and strangers Experts in brandy and rye
With unequaled wisdom of players and scorelines
Statistics to dazzle the blind
Exchanging glances with the Germans and the Spanish
That slip in and out of your life
Throwing down their rucksacks on the sorters' floorboards
As they settle on the ground
A bottle of wine
At the end of the night
We all speak the same language
As you fall off your stool one more time
But we all fall in love
As we wave our farewells
Goodnight, hi, hi
Goodnight
And they're never seen again
For the tourists they are
They never come back to frequent your little bar
But you can't deny
That your love
Got to feed your mind
You gotta feed your mind
You gotta feed your man
Got to feed your mind
You wake up that morning with a headache from a radio
Handed down by Bedouins and slaves
And you look into the mirror and you wonder at the cost
And how much of the future you can save
With your friends out going to India
And you losing on the lottery
If they buy a Bombay champion
Can you contemplate sobriety tonight?
Tonight
And you've got shelves looking sparse
And the television blares
And they're traveling to Mars now
It's you full of future
Don't you want to try?
Don't you want to try?
I've got a future
Don't you want to try?
You've got a future now
You've got a future now
You've got a future now
You've got a future now
Then you're sitting on the boulevard
With a girl who's in love with you
From Argentina
Reading Le Monde in record time
And you can't decide which entree
As you peruse the menu
So you settle on the avocado line
Then you're sitting in your sports car
With your number plates from Monaco
And you're heading down the coast
To catch a flight
And you wake up in the hospital
With your face unrecognizable
And the nurse just comes and switches off the light
She switches off the light
Hi, hi
The light
And nobody remembers
Who is missing from the corner
But if you're not there
And if I were you I'd listen
When the light comes on to warn you
You better have a light
You gotta feed your mind
You've gotta feed your mind
You gotta feed your mind
You've gotta feed your mind
Thank you.
Thank you.
