Riot in My Mind

lyrics by the Poison Girls

There’s a disturbance
A riot in my mind
 Running down the street
Someone’s trying to do me down

There’s a disturbance
A riot in my mind
Fire burning down the street
Someone’s trying to do me down
Theres a disturbance
Like a circus come to town
Wagons swaying down the street
Scatter children in the splintered dark

There’s a disturbance
A riot in my mind
Razors flying through my doorway
Someone’s trying to cut me down
Theres a disturbance
 Like a occupation in the town
Shattered mirrors in the hallway
Running running on the splintered

Can’t you take me to a safe place
Somewhere where it’s safe for me to love
Running running down the street
Someone’s trying to do me down
 Run riot run riot run

There’s a riot in my mind
But the streets are quiet
I'm looking for a crowd to hide in
There’s a disturbance
Interference on my line
Fire burning down
There’s a disturbance
Interference on my line
Can’t you take me to a safe place?
Someone’s trying to burn me down
