Lyrics

                        Look inside and you will see
The words are cutting deep inside my brain
Thunder burnin’, quickly burning
Knife of words is driving me insane

Raven black is on my track
He shows me how to neutralize the knife
Show to me in surgery
The art of fighting words to conquer life

Oh, baby
Rock ’n’ roll
Oh no
Ohhh

Now the wicked lance of fear
Is driving from my heady mountain brain
Crash course in brain surgery
Has stopped the bloody knife of words again

Originally released by Budgie in 1971 on the Budgie album.
