Prince Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I relate to your kind, your design
Your devotion to wave
Get your brain on the prize
Then, dive inside
[Chorus 1]
Mindset of a killer
With your mind out of phase
[Verse 2]
It's a game that we like, we crave
Yet, nobody wins
Any way you decide, you try
But you die
[Chorus 2]
Mindset of a killer
With your gaze, you paint the room
Blood-red with your tears
Pouring from the stage
[Post-Chorus]
And you can't stop now
Rung by rung, almost out
Covered in black and gold
No one cares, no one knows
My gift to the world outside
It's okay, I'm alright
Now, open your empty hands
Here comes the fun, here comes the end
I relate to your kind, your design
Your devotion to wave
Get your brain on the prize
Then, dive inside
[Chorus 1]
Mindset of a killer
With your mind out of phase
[Verse 2]
It's a game that we like, we crave
Yet, nobody wins
Any way you decide, you try
But you die
[Chorus 2]
Mindset of a killer
With your gaze, you paint the room
Blood-red with your tears
Pouring from the stage
[Post-Chorus]
And you can't stop now
Rung by rung, almost out
Covered in black and gold
No one cares, no one knows
My gift to the world outside
It's okay, I'm alright
Now, open your empty hands
Here comes the fun, here comes the end
[Verse 3]
Click, erase the device, give thanks
Then, clear out the room
Blow kisses, wave them goodbye
Goodnight
[Chorus 2]
Mindset of a killer
With your gaze, you paint the room
Blood-red with your tears
Pouring from the stage
[Post-Chorus]
And you can't stop now
Rung by rung, almost out
Covered in black and gold
No one cares, no one knows
My gift to the world outside
It's okay, I'm alright
Now, open your empty hands
Here comes the fun, here comes the end
Click, erase the device, give thanks
Then, clear out the room
Blow kisses, wave them goodbye
Goodnight
[Chorus 2]
Mindset of a killer
With your gaze, you paint the room
Blood-red with your tears
Pouring from the stage
[Post-Chorus]
And you can't stop now
Rung by rung, almost out
Covered in black and gold
No one cares, no one knows
My gift to the world outside
It's okay, I'm alright
Now, open your empty hands
Here comes the fun, here comes the end
