Leave your cares [bad word] with us and find
The pleasures of the journey to the centre of your mind [bad word] along if you [bad word] along if you dare,
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind

Beyond the seas of thought,
Beyond the realm of what,
Across the streets of hopes and dreams where things are really not

You must please realise
You'll prob'bly be surprised
For it's a land unknown to man
Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand
You might [bad word] back [bad word] along if you [bad word] along if you dare,
Take a ride to the land inside and you'll see

How happy life could be
If all of mankind
Would take the time to journey to the centre of your mind
Centre of your mind,
Your mind, Your mind, Your mind, ...

"Journey to the Centre of Your Mind" was written by Ted Nugent and Steve Farmer, originally performed by the American rock band The Amboy Dukes, from their 1968 album Journey to the Center of the Mind.
Originally, the band were introduced and recorded with producer Irving Martin. The band and Martin recorded two tracks including Journey to the Centre of Your Mind. [bad word] wrote "Following that Steppenwolf classic Born to Be Wild with the Ted Nugent/Amboy Dukes' masterpiece Journey to the Center of your Mind is brilliant - the two songs both hit in July of 1968 and both had a similar vibe, although Journey to the Center of your Mind is almost a note for note copy on this Fontana debut where some of the other songs display signs of what Slade would evolve into." [bad word] also wrote "floor-shaking slam through the Amboy Dukes' Journey to the Center of Your Mind, demonstrates the band's musical versatility." [bad word] spoke of the song in a review for the 2006 Salvo double remaster of the Beginnings album and the following 1970 album Play It Loud. "Covers of The Shape of Things [bad word] and Journey to the Centre of Your Mind are all dynamite, with the originals as indicative of the band's innate ear for a melody and the covers representing Slade at their floor-shaking, foot-stamping hardest."
