Lyrics

Collapsed minds run insanity through circles, grasping gulps of salty air, my head goes first.

Is my face pale?

Speech not slurred. I walk through oblivion until finally I arrive at a dumpster.

I look inside and find some pen and paper. There I have it — another day to save for.

Give it up now, they may say it's yours, but my heart isn't over.

[Radio head: she’s a weirdo, she’s a weirdo, she’s a weirdo…]

They say I look like I always do, head on my shoulders. I get a year older, I put my foot in front of the other.

There I have it, another day to save for.

Give it up now, they may say it's yours, but my heart isn't over.

Everything stays the same, and the change I attempt puts me spinning back.

My mind collapses into thunder.

No wonder.

Every conversation minds its lies.

Can you look into my eyes and see more than you want to realize?

I know we're all the same, but some were born to bother.

[Radio head: she’s a weirdo, she’s a weirdo, she’s a weirdo…]

There I have it, another day to save for.

Give it up now, they may say it's yours, but my heart isn't over.

[Radio head: weirdo…]
