I don't live in California
I'll inform you
that's not where I reside
I'm just a tenant
Paying rent inside
this body and I
Got two windows
and those windows
Well I call them my eyes
I'm just going
where the wind blows
I don't get to decide
Sometimes I think too much
Yeah I get so caught up
I'm always stuck in my head
I wish I could escape
I tried to yesterday
Took all the sheets of my bed
Then I tied up my linen with
five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled the side of the building
I ran to the hills 'til they found me
And they put me back
in my cell all by myself
Alone with my thoughts again
Guess my mind is a prison
and I'm never gonna get out
So they tranquilized me analyzed me
Threw me back in my cage
Then they tied me to an IV
Told me I was insane
I'm a prisoner a visitor
inside of my brain
And no matter what I do
They try to keep me in chains
Sometimes I think too much
Yeah I get so caught up
I'm always stuck in my head
I wish I could escape
I tried to yesterday
Took all the sheets of my bed
Then I tied up my linen with
five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled the side of the building I
ran to the hills 'til they found me
And they put me back
in my cell all by myself
Alone with my thoughts again
Guess my mind is a prison
and I'm never gonna get out
Said even if it's true
No matter what I do
I'm never gonna escape
I won't give up on hope
Secure another rope
And try for another day
Said even if it's true
No matter what I do
I'm never gonna escape
I won't give up on hope
Secure another rope
And try for another day
Then I tied up my linen with
five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled the side of the building
I ran to the hills 'til they found me
And they put me back
in my cellall by myself
Alone with my thoughts again
Guess my mind is a prison
and I'm never gonna get out
