Haunted Head Lyrics - Perpetual Motion People - Ezra Furman

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 

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 

(Gentlemen!) 

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)
