lyrics

I don't mind feeling like a sinner
And I don't mind eating all this crow for dinner
And I don't mind when I see the final glimmer
Of my hope begin to shimmer as it's given to the winner
And I don't mind when I know I'm being followed
And I don't mind if it makes me feel hollow
And I don't mind when I'm forced to go and swallow
All my pride, prepared to wallow on the stage at the Apollo

And I'll always keep 'em guessin', always keep 'em guessin'
Knock 'em around the corner until they've learned their lesson
And I'll always keep 'em guessin'

I don't mind flying on a wire
And I don't mind if I keep on flying higher
And I don't mind when my body starts to tire
And I shiver and perspire 'cause I know that I'm a liar
And I don't mind being overweight and feeble
And I don't mind when I'm burying the needle
And I don't mind when I'm looked upon as evil
When I'm climbing up the steeple stepping on the little people

And I'll always keep 'em guessin', always keep 'em guessin'
Spent my time erasing and this is my confession
And I'll always keep 'em guessin'

I don't mind looming around the forest
And I don't mind that I'm so far from the chorus
And I don't mind all the sights that might just floor us
While we're hunting stegosaurus
And the screaming fans adore us
And I don't mind your sudden blank intrusion
And I don't mind this feeling that I'm losing
And I really don't mind the inevitable fusion
Of our bodies in conclusion to the loud obnoxious music

And I'll always keep 'em guessin', always keep 'em guessin'
I'm a backward little bastard that you don't want to mess with
And I'll always keep 'em guessin'

Send the many, send the few
Send the ransom and these dreams will be returned to you
Send these diagrams that mark the way back home
One day you'll see it, one day you'll see it
