It's no use, we're gonna have a fight
You've thrown your words 'round a thousand times

Like a child who can't empathize
You don't speak the language
You don't read my signs

You wanna know what I really think
You wanna know what I really believe

There's a fire burning up in here
See the smoke coming out of my ears

Oh no, we both know
More trouble's gonna find us
If we're all alone
I wanna show you what I really mean
But you're always on the outside looking in

Oh won't you come into my head
Come inside, lie down in my head
Oh won't you come into my head
I just wanna have you up in my head

Look through my eyes, I'm your binocular
And every time you get a shock you'll learn
What's it like to be in my dimension
I'll be the center of your attention

Come listen to all the sounds I hear
The quiet prose and the crack in my snare
Make your mark on my territory
Carve your name in every cavity

Oh no, we both know
More trouble's gonna find us
If we're all alone
I wanna show you what I really mean
But you're always on the outside looking in

Oh won't you come into my head
Come inside, lie down in my head
Oh won't you come into my head
I just wanna have you up in my head

Oh won't you come into my head
Come inside, lie down in my head
Oh won't you come into my head
I just wanna have you up in my head

Oh want piece of my mind
Emphatic and erratic at the drop of a dime
Oh you want a piece of my mind
Climatic and dramatic like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh you want to read my mind
Emphatic and erratic at the drop of a dime
Oh you wanna piece of my mind
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da

Like the blood running through my veins
That's my DNA and my chemistry
But from the pews of the congregation
You'll never know the real salvation

You wanna know what I really think
You wanna know what I really believe
There's a fire burning up in here
See the smoke coming out of my ears

Oh won't you come into my head
Come inside, lie down in my head
Oh won't you come into my head
I just wanna have you up in my head

Oh want a piece of my mind
Climatic and dramatic like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh want a piece of my mind
Emphatic and erratic at the drop of a dime
Oh wantpiece of my mind
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
