[Telephone ringing and being picked up.]
Nikki: Hello?
Dr. X: Mindcrime.
[Telephone slammed back onto receiver.
Nikki inhales sharply.
Telephone rings again and is swiftly picked up.]

It just takes a minute, and youll feel no pain
Gotta make something of your life , boy
Give me one more vein
Youve come to see the doctor
Cause Ill show you the cure
Im gonna take away the questions, yeah
Im gonna make you sure, yeah

A hit man for the order
When you couldnt go to school
Had a skin job for a hair-do
Yeah, you looked pretty cool
Had a habit - doing mainline
Watch the dragon burn
No regrets, youve got no goals
Nothing more to learn
Now I know you wont refuse
Because weve got so much to do
And youve got nothing more to lose
So take this number and welcome to
Operation: Mindcrime
Were an underground revolution
Working overtime
Operation: Mindcrime
Theres a job for you in the system boy, with nothing to sign
[Guitar solo]

Hey Nikki, you know everything
That there is to do
Heres a gun, take it home
Wait by the phone
Well send someone over
To bring you what you need
Youre a one man death machine
Make this city bleed
Now I know you wont refuse
Because weve got so much to do
And youve got nothing more to lose
So take this number and welcome to
Operation: Mindcrime
Were an underground revolution
Working overtime
Operation: Mindcrime
Theres a job for you in the system boy, with nothing to sign
Operation: Mindcrime
Were an underground revolution
Working overtime

Yeah, hell give you the cure

Operation: Mindcrime
Theres a job for you in the system boy
With nothing to sign
