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
