Deluded in My Mind - The Streets

My condition is a delusion created to escape my blame

And Dave thinks Glaswegian police are superheroes

Which his brain may have created

When the railings rattle in a mad bit of Glasgow

The police make him feel safer

So his condition is a delusion based on fear, it seems, mainly

But that’s nothing like me

Deluded in my mind

I do good things and never lie

But sometimes our minds can be the liars

And that’s why it wasn’t I

I’m deluded in my mind

I do good things and never lie

But sometimes our minds can be the liars

And that’s why it wasn’t I

But Lydia is nothing like me

She’s really unlucky in life, see

She’s prone to getting into a tight squeeze

She’s broken seven bones in her life, see

There’s no condition of delusion when it comes to Lydia at all

I thought I might be deluded 'cause her tale is ruddy unbelievable

A dislocated shoulder and a stolen car and a whole steal more

Her condition is of no delusion, Lydia is real to the core

But that’s nothing like me either

I’m deluded in my mind

I do good things and never lie

But sometimes our minds can be the liars

And that’s why it wasn’t I

I’m deluded in my mind

I do good things and never lie

But sometimes our minds can be the liars

And that’s why it wasn’t I

Steve, I think he might be like me

I felt that his mind might be lying

Something about him didn’t quite fit

This is why I really like Steve

Steve’s opinion is a conclusion that a road can curse its drivers

Which, initially, I figured was either stupid

Or, at best, his mind was mad

But how can I say he’s stupid when the thing about delusions

Is that I wouldn’t know I was mad?

Steve’s only condition is that it’s my opinion he’s deluded

But maybe I am?

So there’s no way to tell delusions from the concrete given facts

Maybe the common consensus is actually just madness

Maybe the wacky madman is actually not mad

And maybe if I carry on shouting, you’ll forget what I do bad

I’m deluded in my mind

I do good things and never lie

But sometimes our minds can be the liars

And that’s why it wasn’t I

I’m deluded in my mind

I do good things and never lie

But sometimes our minds can be the liars

And that’s why it wasn’t I

So Dave is nothing like me

Lydia is nothing like me

Steve is nothing like me

And Bigfoot, that’s a different story

I’m deluded in my mind

I do good things and never lie

But sometimes our minds can be the liars

And that’s why it wasn’t I

I’m deluded in my mind

I do good things and never lie

But sometimes our minds can be the liars

And that’s why it wasn’t I
