Anyone, caught in your mystery 
Keep it angry 
Keep it whispy 
I've fallen down 
Drunk on your juices 

Turn my head 
Turn my head 
It's aimed at you 

Funky temple 
Your dress is torn to shreds 
Your eyes are crazy 
I bowed to save my head and 
I can't forget you 
But I can't remember 

Oh no 
Turn my head 
Turn my head 
It's aimed at you

Baby, baby
We came to love you all day 
These bastards are leavin' 
Somebody's got to stay 
Whatever we called you 
It's just a name 
Just a name
