lyrics

It’s too loud
To think
My mind’s been wandering for weeks
I sit around and sulk at night while I drink
‘Cause I’m a dreamer

Don Quixote, that’s me
Captain Ahab of the seven seas
Nobody sees what I see
Nobody sees what I see

I live alone, on my own
I can hardly even call it home
I spend every waking moment wishing she would roam
Into my arms again
Jay Gatsby, that’s me
Gazing off into the light so green
Got plenty of money, got everything it seems
Yet I’m still dreaming dreams of Daisy my Queen

Adolescence is an insult
There’s something phony ‘bout becoming an adult
I’m gon’na drop out of school, grab my favorite hat and bolt
Go up to New York City for the week
Holden Caulfield, am I
Catching the kids that run through the rye
I try so hard but some slip by I
Guess some folks were born to die

(Chorus)
All these characters fill my mind
In good health and good times
Or any time I need to leave myself
Or the world and unwind
Others choose to loose their minds

It seems I’ve sinned again
They’ve locked me in the loony bin
I fight though I might not ever win
But that doesn’t stop me from trying
Randall P. Mc Murphy, that’s me
A certified bull goose loony
Locked in a hell hole acting like I’m free
Fuckin’ and fightin’ that’s the life for me

(Chorus)
All these characters fill my mind
In good health and good times
Or any time I need to leave myself or the world and unwind
Sometimes the world can be unkind
