lyrics

I am chopping up clouds
& it's all for you
because you're my pal

A cry you hear late at night--
oh what could it be?
You look up at me
but it's all in your head

In a long black dress
she scratches her neck
you stand on the deck
you plan your defense

What did she say?
do you remember?
oh, what could it be?
You look up at me
but it's all in your head

I'm chopping up clouds
as the rear view allows
a rider of death's chariot
& you pick up the check
you review the deck
your arms & your legs feel like lead
but it's all in your head

My, my my
Old habits die easy
I'm your wishing well--
cast a stone into the soft pools of my eyes
A shame
you won't see me through
Was it all that bad?
I threw out your plan
I drove a wedge into your evil itch
but it's all in your head

I'm chopping up clouds
as the rear view allows,
a rider of death's chariot
& you pick up the check
you review the deck,
your arms & your legs feel like lead

I've run my race well
If I lost I can't tell
This ocean tastes like lemonade
I need you like a pocket of rain

It's all in your head
