Testo di Shrunken Head

I'm beat to hell today The gaps in my memory Prove to me that I’ve got sleep ‘Cause I can’t remember all my dreams I had Dig through the old debris Find all my missing links Take apart the old machine And put back together new and clean The night has always given me a chance to doubt myself I'm stacking up how I compare to everybody else Smoking secondhand and pushing out the ones that help Cut the lights off, leave the engine running A wall of writing in a language I don’t understand Consequences for the things that I could never plan No man’s an island, so it doesn’t matter where I stand Cut the lights off leave the engine running I'm feeling twice my age Antique and retrograde Sepia when colors fade And make each of us a different shade Buried in the things I said Reeling in my shrunken head An artifact, the thing I dread For you to dig up, ponder, then forget The night has always given me a chance to doubt myself I'm stacking up how I compare to everybody else Smoking secondhand and pushing out the ones that help Cut the lights off, leave the engine running A wall of writing in a language I don’t understand Consequences for the things that I could never plan No man’s an island, so it doesn’t matter where I stand Cut the lights off leave the engine running
