Somethin's wrong cause my mind is fading, And everywhere I look there's a dead end waiting, Temperature's dropping at the rotten oasis Stealing kisses from the leprous faces Heads are hanging from the garbageman trees Mouthwash, jukebox, gasoline, Pistols are pointing at a poor man's pockets Smiling eyes with 'em out of the sockets Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Love machines on the sympathy crutches Discount orgies on the dropout buses Hitchin' a ride with the bleedin' noses Comin' to town with the briefcase blues Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Somethin' wrong cause my mind is fading Ghetto blastin' disintegrating Rock 'n' roll, know what I'm saying? Everywhere I look there's a devil in waiting Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind Got a devil's haircut in my mind
