This verse has always driven me crazy. I've tried to find the correct lyrics for years now and have never quite got there. A while ago I saw Frank Black guest performing with Placebo doing a version of Where Is My Mind. Brian Molko sings the second verse a lot more clearly than Frank ever has and his lyrics are plainly:
"Animals were hiding behind the rocks,
Except the little fish,
Then he told me East is West
And he tried to cry...
Where is my mind?"
The East West line sounds pretty close to what Frank sings in the original but the next line still mystifies me - not sure if Brian Molko is doing his own interpretation here or if he got those lyrics from Frank. The mystery continues! And anyway I should probably stop obsessing about it now - if Brian Molko doesn't know the words even when he's sharing the stage with Frank Black then I probably never will either...
