River of Pain
Bengali, Bengali
No no no
He does not want to depress you
Oh no no no no no
He only wants to impress you
Oh..
Bengali in platforms
He only wants to embrace your culture
And to be your friend forever
Forever
Bengali, Bengali
Bengali, Bengali
Oh, shelve your Western plans
And understand
That life is hard enough when you belong here
A silver-studded rim that glistens
And an ankle-star that ... blinds me
A lemon sole so very high
Which only reminds me; to tell you
Break the news gently
Break the new
MIND-MACHINE
I saw you for the first time yesterday
You looked at me but somethin' wasn't right
A face I thought I'd come to know by heart
Now hidden by a mask with no reveal
Just when I thought I knew you
I can feel no pulse inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you stripped my senses clean
I can feel no pulse...there's just your mind-machine
You say that you got feelin's just like me
You prove it as you throw me out the door
I'm reelin' from your sensitivity
Is this the shape of better things to come
I'm frightened for the future
I can feel no pulse inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you stripped my senses clean
I can feel no pulse...inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you broke my mind-machine
Inside your world it's cold and blue as ice
Where no one speaks and no one need reply
To questions that I've asked a thousand times
No answer to the riddles that you keep
It must be hard to be you
I can feel no pulse inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you stripped my senses clean
I can feel no pulse...inside your mind-machine
I can feel no pulse...you broke my mind-machine
