Severed Head

Severed Head Lyrics

Something that you did
Something that you did
Something that you did
Something that you did

I've been losing everything, yeah
I can't keep a fucking thing, yeah
Do the money, do the fame
It's seems like that controls this thing
Guess my head just left the building
Like out the window, missed the ceiling
I cannot explain this feeling
I never learned to speak Brazilian
Now I'm stuck, my body left me bleeding
Roll the train, it's passing fast
It's speeding outside
My body gone, don't need the soul, ayy
Just take another breather so, ayy
Follow my torso, I mean my neck here but where did my heart go?
I mean my leg go but where did my mind go?
I guess I only gotta go where that body goes, geronimo (stay a little longer)

Paradise has mountains that take a lifetime
To climb in dreams, I fly above them
I'm haunted by what I saw last night
On angelic highways, waiting in the darkness
I'm on a speeding train
I stick my head out of the carriage window
My cheeks inflate, my eyes become watery
Whoosh, my head is severed
Will you stay a little longer?

Condensation makes pathways down a window pane
I don't really wanna watch you drive away
What do you say?
Maybe you could stay for another day
Oh, baby, wait
What exactly did the doctor say?
I've been grinding teeth awake in bed
And my aching head
How could love suddenly be dead
We could swallow bread
Our hunger is not easily fed
I've been waiting for sleep to come
I've been breathing through these aching lungs
I keep waking up
This is worse than ever breaking up
If your time is up
How much more before mine is up?

Yeah uh, the roundabout, the vibe is nice, we all will die
Yeah, I mean the roundabout, our life is nice, we all gon' die, right?
Uh uh, the roundabout, the vibe is nice, we all will die
Yeah, I mean the whole roundabout
My life is nice, we all gon' die, yeah
