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'll call them my eyes
I'm just going where the wind blows,
I don't get to decide
[Pre-Chorus]
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 off my bed
[Chorus]
Then I tied up my linen
with five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled the side of the building
I ran to the hills till they found me
And they put me back in my cell
All by myself,
alone with my thoughts again
I guess my mind is a prison
and I'm never gonna get out
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes I think to 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 off my bed
[Chorus]
Then I tied up my linen
with five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled the side of the building
I ran to the hills till they found me
And they put me back in my cell
All by myself,
alone with my thoughts again
I guess my mind is a prison
and I'm never gonna get out
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Then I tied up my linen
with five strips of ribbon I found
Scaled the side of the building
I ran to the hills till they found me
And they put me back in my cell
All by myself,
alone with my thoughts again
I guess my mind is a prison
and I'm never gonna get out
