[Intro] [Chiming surf guitar hook, driving live drums, narrow mono mix] [Verse 1] [Continuous live band, zero volume dips] Over there right by the stream Tripping through my sleepless dreams Nothing here is quite what it seems Never knew Never knew where mischief grew [Verse 2] I should flee this patch of grass Warned my mates to let you pass Yet you pulled me like a pint Never knew where mischief grew [Chorus] Mischief grows inside the dark Where the sun, it never shines Mischief grows in hollow roots Living deep in twisted minds Mischief grew, it clings to you And it turns out true to see Every time I look at you Mischief grows inside of me [Middle Eight / Instrumental Interlude: 8 to 12 bars: heavy vinyl crackle, theremin stabs, backwards tape psychedelia] [Verse 3] If I weave a thorny spell I could govern how you dwell Yet your stubborn soul rebelled And it never shows Where the mischief grows [Chorus] Mischief grows inside the dark Where the sun, it never shines Mischief grows in hollow roots Living deep in twisted minds Mischief grew, it clings to you And it turns out true to see Every time I look at you Mischief grows inside of me [Outro] (Every time I look at you) (Mischief grows inside of me) (Every time I look at you...) (Mischief grows inside of me...) (Every time I look at you) (Mischief grows inside of me) (Inside... inside...) [Shambolic horn fanfare breakdown, out-of-tune brass stabs, chaotic collapse to mono tape stop]
