    Head

    by: Tin Star

    Sometimes I wake up in the mornin'
    My feet, my soul, my arms
    My legs myself, my eggs
    Are all fried
    I've gotta do my exams today
    I've read my books, turned up on time
    But I haven't revised
    I'm not getting along
    I'm not gettin' the answer
    I'm not getting along
    I'm not getting along
    I'm not gettin' the answer
    I can't get out of my head
    In the night, sometimes I wake up
    Uncool, uptight
    I'm tired of being tired
    But in my dreams, my arms are open wide
    Open wide
    I open up my eyes
    Open up my eyes
    Everything is dark
    I think I'm blind
    I think I'm blind
    I think I'm blind
    I'm not getting along
    I'm not gettin' the answer
    I'm not getting along
    (Too dumb to use the phone)
    I'm not getting along
    I'm not gettin' the answers
    'Cause I can't get out of my head
    No, I
    No, I
    No, I can't get out of my head
    No, I
    No, I
    No, I can't get out of my head
    This profession is my obsession
    And this obsession is my depression
    And this depression is my release
    And this release will never cease
    No, I
    No, I
    No, I can't get out of my head
    No, I
    No, I
    No, I can't get out of my head
    I get my head, hey
    Uh, hey!
    (Can't get out of my head)
    Yeah, sometimes
    Uncool, uptight
    In my dreams my arms, myself is open wide
    (Can't get out of my head)
    (Can't get out of my head)
