In Your Mind Lyrics - Johnny Cash

In Your Mind In your mind 

one foot on Jacob's ladder and one foot in the fire 

and it all goes down in your mind 

Livin' at the bottom of the stairs of life 

never a smile knockin' on your door 

the air is blue and so are you 

prehistoric monsters on the floor 

Last verse of your last song 

and God don't hear dead men 

the end of the line is in your mind 

then you'll be stayin' in 

In your mind In your mind 

Bone for bone and skin for skin 

eye for eye and tooth for tooth 

heart for heart and soul for soul 

somebody said "What is truth"? 

Lock it up and close it down 

the sound of mournin' like a dove 

high beyond the rattlin' roar 

lookin' to the face of love 

[chorus:] In your mind In your mind 

it all goes down in your mind 

one foot on Jacob's ladder and one foot in the fire 

and it all goes down in your mind 

In your mind In your mind 

Sunday words are back again 

and you eat your fundamentalist pie 

but just a piece you understand 

you get the rest up in the sky 

Praise and glory, wounded angels 

shufflin' 'round the room 

eternity is down the hall 

and you sit there bendin' spoons 

In your mind In your mind 

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost 

sacrificial drops of pain 

on a silver plated cross 

sanctification on a chain 

Thay say redemption draweth nigh 

the storms of silence from above 

stop your ears and close your eyes 

and try to find the face of love 

[Repeat Chorus twice]
