lyrics

Headful

My momma told me not to talk with my head full.
I was told to wheel my barrow
down the straight and the narrow.
Intrigued by the scene in the other direction.
I got totally lost in the funhouse direction.
I did some things I'd rather not mention.

I lost all respect for time and space
'cos everytime I punched the clock I lost my place.
The aces up my sleeve slid down my pantleg.
The joker in the mirror is laughing in my face.
I mimic every motion that he makes.

I'm ashamed to say I can't remember
the rules to this game.
Can you tell me again the character
I was supposed to play.
Make it snappy, I haven't got all day to wait
trying to make you happy.

They built a pulp mill on my stream of consciousness.
Now my dreams float along like bloated fish.
I was struck blind by a hideous vision
so my train of thought had a collision.
Now I wiggle my toes in indecision.

I'm ashamed to say I can't remember
the rules to this game.
Can you tell me again
the character I was supposed to play.
Make it snappy, I haven't got all day to wait
trying to make you happy.

I'm a square peg jammed into a round hole.
I'm a drunken rat at this tea party for moles.
I borrowed this halo just to fit the dress code.
Anybody with half an eye would see I'm damn uncomfortable.
and I
I should
Should not talk
with my headful
and I
I should
Should not talk
with my headful
headful
headful
headful
