Follow me down to the water
Through the tripwires in your head
Through the seven layers
Of your holy bed

Where there is no warm guard
By the cities of systems
I wanna be your savior
I wanna be your seasons

The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you

Follow me down to the freeway
Where the beat goes on
And a heatwave lost the night

Say what you will but we pray
To the gods of our own demise
All the time

The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you

Lets build a bonfire tonight
We'll stay warm in the night time
Warm in the night time

Follow me down to the water
Through the tripwires in your head
Through the seven layers
Of your holy bed

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you
The only way out
The only way out
The only way out is through
Lost my mind over you

Bush

Bush is a rock band formed in London in 1992 shortly after vocalist/guitarist Gavin Rossdale and guitarist Nigel Pulsford met. It was not long before they recruited bassist Dave Parsons, and later drummer Robin Goodridge, and started writing. Dave Parsons joined Bush shortly after leaving the band Transvision Vamp. Drummers such as Sacha Gervasi, Amir, and Spencer Cobrin had all filled in as Bush drummers before Robin Goodridge was made the permanent fit and thus completing the Bush lineup. more »
