Mind Is a Prison

I don't live in California I'll inform you that's not where I reside I'm just a tenant Payin' rent inside this body and I Got two windows and those windows Well, I call them my eyes I'm just goin' where the wind blows I don't get to decide Sometimes I think too much Yeah, 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 of my bed Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found Scaled the side of the buildin', I ran to the hills 'til they found me And they put me back in my cell, all by myself Alone with my thoughts again 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 IV Told me I was insane I'm a prisoner a visitor inside of my brain And no matter what I do They try to keep me in chains Sometimes I think too much Yeah, 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 of my bed Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found Scaled the side of the buildin', I ran to the hills 'til they found me And they put me back in my cell, all by myself Alone with my thoughts again 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 won't give up on hope Secure another rope And try for another day Said even if it's true No matter what I do I'm never gonna escape I won't give up on hope Secure another rope And try for another day Then I tied up my linen with five strips of ribbon I found Scaled the side of the buildin', I ran to the hills 'til they found me And they put me back in my cell, all by myself Alone with my thoughts again Guess my mind is a prison, and I'm never gonna get out
