	Story Behind the Song Mind was written in college sometime, I'm not really too sure what was going on then. I think I was working on the music for a while before Frank gave me his great lyrics about a man in an insane asylum. We worked on the lyrics together- later adding the "blind as a bat" part- and struggled for a while on how to end the song. I always wanted the song to return to the original theme at the beginning, but I could never find a way to do it that flowed musically. There was actually a whole other set of lyrics which went over the part which is now the first guitar solo- but they never seemed to fit. It is a weird song- put together like the random pieces of the deranged mind it describes. Lyrics I don't mind everything that seems to pass away I don't mind that i can't tell tomorrow from today I don't mind thoughts that never want to leave their home I dont mind thoughts that seem to move out on their own I don't know where everything's starting to go I can't say where I'm going today I won't be feeling like I'm me But I will try to live before I die I won't go down the roads that I already know I won't go places not imagined by the soul I can't stay home just doesn't feel like home today I can't stay I was not made to sit and drift away I don't know where everything's starting to go I can't say where I'm going today I won't be feeling like I'm me But I will try to live before I die I met a man who swore that he could fly! Blind as a bat not seeing this or that Not quite sure just how to tell precisely where I'm at The wind's not mean and the sky is not cruel It's just that you don't realize They've got a job to do You don't lie, you don't cheat you don't eat any meat You go outside and shoot the breeze with strangers on the street You're tough and you're calm and you know your rights from wrong But any day you could explode You're ticking like a bomb....
