Mantovani the Mind Reader Songtext

von American Music Club

Mantovani the Mind Reader wears a blind fold 'cause
He thinks no one'll see the truth in his eyes
How he used to float like the breeze over postcard seas
Now it's a lifeboat that leaks his alibis

Knows what's in your wallet
Knows what turns your keys
Knows what heats up your lover
Knows what makes them freeze
Knows the fine reasoning of those who offer grief
And never touch forever and take pride in relief

They say you can be anyone that you want to
Under the sun anyone you want to
Well I'm sure it's true, I'm sure it's true
You can be anyone that you want to

He gets drunk from the thoughts
Of the sinners he entertains
And ends up feeling nothing just seeing others' pain
And the blind fold is off, his justice has become
A whiskey heart all daggers
And a frozen tongue

They say you can be anyone that you want to
Under the sun anyone you want to
Well I'm sure it's true, I'm sure it's true
You can be anyone you want to

What kills your soul
Is the pain you make
The fights you throw
The love you fake

And at the end of the show
He has a marvelous goodbye
A shot glass melody
For a tympani sky

They say you can be anyone that you want to
Under the sun anyone you want to
Well I'm sure it's true, I'm sure it's true
You can be anyone you want to

Well I'm sure it's true, I'm sure it's true
You can be anyone you want to
