I dont 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 2 windows and those windows well

I'll call them my eyes

I'm just going where the wind blows

I dont get to decide

Sometimes I think too much

Ya 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

Then I tied up my linen with 5 strips of ribbon I found

Scalled 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

So they tranquilized me, analyzed me

Threw me back in my cage

Then they tied me to an I'v told me I was insane

I'm a prisoner, a visitor

Inside of my brain

And no mather what I do they try to keep me in chains

Sometimes I think too much

Ya 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

Then I tied up my linen with 5 strips of ribbon I found

Scalled 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

Said even if It's true

No matter what I do

I'm never gonna escape

I wont 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 wont give up on hope

Secure another rope

And try for another day

Then I tied up my linen with 5 strips of ribbon I found

Scalled 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
