The Devil's Inside My Head - Kasey Chambers

What do you want from me? Now you got me Now my fingers bleed Now they're staring at me I'm a coward now I hold my peace Now you tie me up to your feather bed And I twist and turn in a Chinese burn You won't let go You won't let go You're inside my head Inside my head What do you want from me? Now you got me Now my energy you suck from me And I'm holding on for dear life Quit smothering me Quit laughing at me I got a disease An English disease It won't let go It won't let go You're inside my head Inside my head What did you put in that syringe? Whatever you really said to him? Is sitting there, inside of me And you bother me, you possess me You're there again ahead of me And I won't let go I won't let go You're inside my head Inside my head Inside my head Inside my head

Is it wise enough to say That I'm better off without you Is it cool enough to fake 'Cause all that I've been breathing is about you Is it wise enough to flow (flowing down) From the head until my toes But somehow I don't really know All that I've been doing is without you Is it you inside my head Is it you inside who says That I'll become, someone else And on and on my mind keeps saying This is not what I believe in This is where it ends And on and on my mind's made up And that is why it never stops Alone again Alone again Is it you inside my head Is it you inside who says That I'll become, someone else I didn't know that you're buzzing right through inside my head I didn't know that you're coming right through inside my head I didn't know that you're buzzing right through, no I I didn't know that you're coming right through, no I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know Tell me Is it you inside my head Is it you inside who says Is it you inside my head

I'm not sure that I believe in God I believe he's on my side I don't know what to wash first When I take a shower My blood is running thru me like salt "Boy", they said "Oh yes", I said I'm dancing inside my head "Boy", they said "Oh yes", I said I'm dancing inside my head I've got bricks on my pillow My head can't rest no more It put my face in a permanent frown I'm bored how people talk I'm bored how people lie I'm bored how they play war "So", they said "Oh yes", I said I'm dancing inside my head "So", they said "Oh yes", I said I'm dancing inside my head I'm as cool and bull As a man in a bus My blood is running thru me like salt I'm as cool and bull As a man in a bus My blood is running thru me like salt "So", they said "Oh yes", I said I'm dancing inside my head "So", they said "Oh yes", I said I'm dancing inside my head And I'm dancing, dancing, dancing inside my head And I'm dancing, dancing, dancing inside my head And I'm dancing, dancing, dancing inside my head

I walk around this town As buildings close and windows are boarded I think about you When I hear a door slam in the wind And the glass on the mat says welcome I think about you Sitting inside my head, Laughing at what I said Come on baby Let's have another toast You might think I'm dense, Laughing at my expense Let's fill the cup Let's wash away the ghost In this ghost town where we live There's a wanted poster of you on every corner She keeps asking me 'who's that' and 'what's her name?' But I choke on every letter, As the glass flies off the table I keep telling her I ain't the one to blame Sitting inside my head, Laughing at what I said Come on baby Let's have another toast You might think I'm dense, Laughing at my expense Let's fill the cup Let's wash away the ghost I left when I was gone, I didn't feel a thing I didn't think you'd haunt me this long after But the buildings crumble down, As I run from the town I hear you breathe And I listen to your laughter Sitting inside my head, Laughing at what I said Come on baby let's have another toast You might think I'm dense, Laughing at my expense Let's fill the cup Let's wash away the ghost I walk around this town As buildings close and windows are boarded I think about you When I hear a door slam in the wind And the glass on the mat that says Welcome I think about you I think about you (repeat many times)

I've given my words to you I'd do it again You know them by heart by now You have them within Oh, would you still offer your embrace If it's another place you'd find me in? If it's ours and ours to use How can we refuse a cease of fire? Between your heart and mine Well I'll surrender first tonight In your false withdrawal You'll have me rise, you'll have me fall I won't be worthy of this fight In your feigned retreat I'll follow blindly in defeat I've given my heart to you You know its ways Yes, in its chambers you have lived Though lately you have come to realize That for the bullets that you fire I'm the main supplier I'm the one The trigger for your gun Well I'll surrender first tonight In your false withdrawal You'll have me rise, you'll have me fall I won't be worthy of this fight In your feigned retreat I'll follow blindly in defeat My fear is dead I lost it in you I do hear you I do fear you I do need you

You with the sad eyes Don't be discouraged Oh I realize It's hard to take courage In a world full of people You can lose sight of it Of the darkness inside you Makes you feel so small But I see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show Your true colors True colors are beautiful, Like a rainbow Show me your smile then, Don't be unhappy, can't remember when, I last saw you laughing If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear You call me up Because you know I'll be there And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show your, True colors True colors Are beautiful lke a rainbow If this world makes you crazy And you've taken all you can bear Just call me up Because you know I'll be there And I'll see your true colors Shining through I see your true colors And that's why I love you So don't be afraid to let them show your, True colors True colors Are beautiful lke a rainbow

I threw a coin and it fell Down the wishing well And it sunk to the ground like a cannon ball (ground like a cannon ball) And you think I'm out of touch I call you too much Now words they just sound like a waterfall (sound like a waterfall) I, I'm falling behind My watch doesn't wind So I'm keeping time with an hourglass (time with an hourglass) And you think I'm immature And you seem unsure Why we're spitting on cars from the overpass (cars from the overpass) If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you That I love you I, I told you with pride Where all the stars die Down on Hollywood boulevard (Hollywood boulevard) And you, you think it's absurd That I've never heard A single thing about Baudrillard (thing about Baudrillard) If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you That I love you I love you I tripped over my words I lost all my nerve When I asked you to ride in my motorcar (ride in my motorcar) You, you kissed me just once But only because We fell in love on a monkey bar (on a monkey bar) If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you If you ever really find it harder Is it ever really hard to find? Said I love you like a broken record Hung around you like a satellite I like it when it rains in summer I like a hole in my shoe I like the smell of firecrackers And I like that I love you That I love you I love you

Will you rise or will you fall? Will you walk or will you crawl? Will you dream in black and white When you're sleeping cold tonight? Will you bend or will you break? Will you give or will you take? Will no angel shine no light? And leave you sleeping cold tonight Way o Way, way o way, o way o why Way o Way, way o way, o way o why Will you stand or will you turn? Will you teach or will you learn? When your demons rise above You'll be sleeping cold my love Would you stay or would you leave? Would you fail or would you believe? Would you stand your ground and fight When I'm sleeping cold tonight? Would we know what's wrong or right If we're sleeping cold tonight? Way o Way, way o way, o way o why Way o Way, way o way, o way o why
