All the lyrics
Verse 1 He sits in his chair, every thing is a thou-sand yards away. He looks at his hair, hanging over his face like he thinks it did yesterday. Was that yesterday, Or just a few minutes away? Verse 2 She sits in her box, cries because, that's all she can do. No one hates her except for herself, and she can't speak to you You are in awe of her charm But what she thinks of is harm. Verse 3 I've stood in a field, walking fast, to get to where I am. I've lain in bed, it's a really nice place, to not give a damn. But some-times the sun shines And it lights up our minds Chorus What's going on in your head? What is it that makes you feel like you're dead? But still walking Sometimes talking What's going on in your mind? Do you feel the world has left you behind? No tied shoe laces, for us head cases.How I play certain parts
