Lyrics
When I was a kid in school
Reflecting on childhood experiences in school.
They showed me symbols on a card
Introduction to symbols presented on a card.
Then they sent them from a locked and bolted room
Symbols sent from a secure location, creating a sense of mystery.
I had to fake that it was hard
Having to pretend that understanding was challenging.
Circle, square, triangle, waves
Mention of basic geometric shapes and waves.
I got crystal clear by the hour
Understanding becomes clear over time.
And I said "may I please take a rest?"
Requesting a break from the intense learning process.
I didn't want them to know I was possessed with
Concealing possession of PSI power.
PSI power PSI power
Repetition emphasizing PSI power.
PSI power PSI power
-PSI power PSI power
-I can read your mind like a magazine
Claiming the ability to read minds effortlessly.
I see where you're at
Describing an understanding of others' secrets and thoughts.
I know what you mean
-I get all the secrets that you'd rather keep
-When I was a teenage kid
Recalling teenage experiences of insight into others' minds.
And I hung around the streets
-I could see inside the mind of any girl
-That I wanted to meet
-Circle, square, triangle, waves
Reiteration of geometric shapes and waves.
They are open to me like a flower
Comparing openness to a flower.
How would you like to have your mind caressed
Offering to caress someone's mind.
Can't you feel that I'd possessed with
Expressing the feeling of being possessed with PSI power.
PSI power PSI power
Repetition emphasizing PSI power.
PSI power PSI power
-PSI power PSI power
-PSI power
Further repetition emphasizing PSI power.
PSI power
-PSI power
-I can read your mind like a magazine
Reiterating the ability to read minds and understand others.
I see where you're at
-I know what you mean
-I get all the secrets you'd rather keep
Claiming knowledge of secrets others wish to keep hidden.
It's like a radio you can't switch off
Metaphorically describing PSI power as an inescapable radio.
There's no way to get peace of mind
-I would like to live in a lead-lined room
-And leave all this PSI Power behind
Expressing a desire to escape the burdens of PSI power.
Circle, square, triangle, waves
Repetition of geometric shapes and waves, acknowledging the downside of the gift.
It's a gift that soon turned sour
Describing the negative transformation of the once-gifted ability.
Why don't they let me get rest
Questioning the lack of respite from PSI power.
Too much to understand
Expressing the overwhelming nature and difficulty in understanding.
Too much to digest
-PSI power PSI power
Repetition emphasizing PSI power and its burdens.
PSI power PSI power
-PSI power PSI power
-I can read your mind like a magazine
Reiterating the ability to read minds and understand others.
I see where you're at
-I know what you mean
-I get all the secrets you'd rather keep
Claiming knowledge of secrets others wish to keep hidden.
