Haunted Head

Intro: verse 1 I'm up at six I get a slice of bread, I cut a hole in it I crack a little egg into a frying pan and I try to get my mind turned off I'm naked now Because it doesn't really matter when the shades are down I was born this way I'll die this way I don't know how I'm ever gonna tell myself the truth I live alone A house without a heart is not a home I think I may destroy these things I own I'm going back way back to black and red Inside my haunted head Instrumental: verse 2 I get the prayer shawl on I wrap myself in something that is way beyond anything my mind could get its dirty fingers on I'm going through the motions like a champ I take these aimless drives from two A.M. to four I live these secret lives Identities that all die off not one survives By morning there's nobody at the wheel I'm out on Lake Street now I'm coming to a red light but there's no one around The law sits on my shoulder and it weighs me down It's talking in a language long since dead Inside my haunted head Instrumental: verse 3 I'm having too much fun My arms around the toilet like a long-lost chum I'm kneeling at the throne I'm stricken deaf and dumb I'm learning what it means to really pray Tried to get cute with pain I thought I could avoid it Thought I knew that game But just when you get the hang of it the rules all change and you're doing time for crimes that don't exist So I sit and wait til I can finally see the sense it makes I know this sick world's bound to be explained So I'm hanging on if only by a thread Inside my haunted head (Haunted, ha-ha-haunted head)
