Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shout out, doo-da, shout it out, doo-da
Shout out, doo-da, shout out, shaba-laba
Shout out, doo-da, shout it out, doo-da, shout
[Verse 2]
I'm up at six
I get a slice of bread, I cut a hole in it
I crack a little egg into a frying pan
And I try to get my mind turned off
[Verse 3]
I'm naked now
Because it doesn't really matter when the shades are down
I was born this way, I'll die this way
I don't know how I'm ever gon' tell myself the truth
[Verse 4]
I live alone
A house without a heart is not a home
I think I may destroy these things I own
I'm going back, way back to black and red
Inside my haunted head
[Verse 5]
I get the prayer shawl on
I wrap myself in something that is way beyond
Anything my mind could get it's dirty fingers on
I'm going through the motions like a champ
[Verse 6]
I take these aimless drives from 2AM to 4
I live these secret lives
Identities that all die off, not one survives
By morning, there's nobody at the wheel
[Verse 7]
I'm out on Lake Street now
I'm coming to a red light but there's no one around
The law sits on my shoulder and it weighs me down
It's talking in a language long since dead
Inside my haunted head
[Verse 8]
Gentlemen
[Verse 9]
Shout out, doo-da, shout it out, doo-da
Shout out, doo-da, shout out, shaba-laba
Shout out, doo-da, shout it out, doo-da, shout
[Verse 10]
I'm having too much fun
My arms around the toilet like a long-lost chum
I'm kneeling at the throne, I'm stricken deaf and dumb
I'm learning what it means to really pray
[Verse 11]
Tried to get cute with pain
I thought I could avoid it, thought I knew that game
But just when you get the hang of it, the rules all change
And your doing time for crimes that don't exist
[Verse 12]
So I sit and wait
Till I can finally see the sense it makes
I know this sick world's bound to be explained
So I'm hanging on, if only by a thread
Inside my haunted head
[Verse 13]
Shout out, doo-da, shout it out, doo-da
Shout out, doo-da, shout out, shaba-laba
Shout out, doo-da, shout it out, doo-da, shout
(Haunted, ha, ha, haunted head)
[Verse 14]
Shout out, doo-da, shout it out, doo-da
Shout out, doo-da, shout out, shaba-laba
Shout out, doo-da, shout it out, doo-da, shout
[Verse 15]
Shout out, doo-da, shout it out, doo-da, shout
