Virus Of The Mind

Heather Nova

While I was watching this talk show the other day


And on it there was this guy


And he was saying "When you let other people tell you what's right


when you leave your instinct and your own truth behind he said


that's a virus of the mind,


that's a virus of the mind"


Well I guess it's kinda like loosing your sight


For a second you think that they might be right


And it feeds the doubts that you have inside


It almost starts to feels like a crime


To follow your own rhythm and rhyme





I'm pretty happy, living in my


My own sweet time, living in my


I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your


Virus of the mind


Your virus of the mind





Well I went to this party thing last night


A lot of people I hadn't seen in a long long time


And they wanted to know about my life


But making me feel like it wasn't quite right


Like "Where's is your kids?" and "Where is you car?"


I said "I don't have either but I have a guitar"


And I ended up feeling like I was a freak


So I found some wine and something to eat


I talked to the dog to pass the time


I told myself "I'm doing just fine"


It's just a virus of the mind





It's just a virus of the mind


I'm pretty happy, living in my


My own sweet time, living in my


Yeah I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your


Virus of the mind


Your virus of the mind





It's in the deep of your soul, it's on the tip of your tongue


It's the feeling you get, when you feel young


It's in the sound of a beat, it's in the base of your spine


It's in your gut reaction, yeah every time


But they tell you what you should have, they tell you who you should be


It's in the pictures and ads and in the magazines


I'm kicking it off like a bug in the breeze


Cause is anyone out there inside me


I say "Is anyone out there inside me?"


I say "Is anyone?"





I'm pretty happy, living in my


My own sweet time, living in my


Yeah I'm pretty happy, and I don't need your


Virus of the
