Over My Head Lyrics - Other People's Lives - Ray Davies

Wakin' up, feeling rough 

Totally stressed 

Every day it's a dead time 

Step by step 

Hit a wall, took a fall 

To a new depth 

Count to ten, focusin' 

Take a deep breath 

In a world that is close to breakin' 

I thought that you were my friend 

In a world that is full of hatin' 

And I'm about to descend 

I just smile and pretend 

I'm a million miles away from it all 

And let it go right over my head 

Let 'em chase and the winner take all 

And let it go right over my head 

Over my head, yeah 

Over my head, ooh 

Over my head 

Everywhere, everyone 

Questioning me 

Are you ill? Are you well? 

Do you like being free? 

Didn't know you were close to breaking 

So you thought it should end 

Left it all for a new location 

So you could start up again 

So keep smilin' till then 

Right now, I want some peace of mind 

So let it go right over my head 

Just want to give myself a little more time 

And every single word that you said 

Went over my head, yeah 

Over my head, ooh 

Over my head 

Little girl, I was so mistaken 

Thought that you were my friend 

In a world that is full of hatin' 

I'm about to descend 

Didn't know you were close to breakin' 

So you thought it should end 

Left it all for a new location 

So you could start up again 

So keep smilin' till then 

I'm a million miles away from it all 

And let it go right over my head 

Let 'em chase and the winner take all 

And let it go right over my head 

Right now, I want some peace of mind 

So let it go right over my head 

Just want to give myself a little more time 

And every single word that you said 

Went over my head, yeah 

Over my head, ooh 

Over my head 

Close the door, let me please 

Get to my bed 

I wanna take stock, see my life 

In perspective 

Tomorrow, I'll be back in the race, till then 

Live and let live 

So let all the anger pass me by 

Over my head, ooh 

Over my head, ooh 

Over my head
