haunted head - ezra furman lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m up at six
i get a slice of bread, i cut a hole in it
i crack a little egg into a frying pan
and i try to get my mind turned off
i’m naked now
because it doesn’t really matter when the shades are down
i was born this way, i’ll die this way
i don’t know how
i’m ever gonna tell myself the truth
i live alone
a house without a heart is not a home
i think i may destroy the things i own
i’m going back, way back to black and red
inside my haunted head

[verse 2]
i get the prayer shawl on
i wrap myself in something that is way beyond
anything my mind can get its dirty fingers on
i’m going through the motions like a champ
i take these aimless drives
from two a.m. to four, i live these secret lives
identities that all die off, not one survives
by morning there’s n-body at the wheel
i’m out on lake street now
i’m coming to a red light but there’s no one around
the law sits on my shoulder and it weighs me down
it’s talking in a language long since dead
inside my haunted head
gentlemen

[verse 3]
i’m having too much fun
my arms around the toilet like a long-lost chum
i’m kneeling at the throne, i’m stricken deaf and dumb
i’m learning what it means to really pray
tried to get cute with pain
i thought i could avoid it, thought i knew the game
but just when you get the hang of it, the rules all change
and you’re doing time for crimes that don’t exist
so i sit and wait
’til i can finally see the sense it makes
i know this sick world’s bound to be explained
so i’m hanging on if only by a thread
inside my haunted head
