lyrics

Hey, I'm on a fast track to permanent paranoia
I swear to God that pretty soon I'm gonna need a lawyer
They're gonna lock me up and throw away the key
I wasn't hurting anyone but me

I didn't ask for this but you've got all the answers
Just call me Elton John, I'll be your tiny dancer
I can see the yellow bricks ahead
Can't tell if it's all in my head

Hey, I'm right on schedule for a psyco-chotic breakdown
It should be any moment now they break in for my shakedown
They're gonna lock me up and throw away the key
Maybe days, maybe eternity

I didn't ask for this but you've got all the answers
Just call me Elton John, I'll be your tiny dancer
I can see the yellow bricks ahead
Can't tell if it's all in my head

A brief reprieve, a moment's rest, I think I'm thinking clearly
Anxiety is now at bay my tongue is speaking freely
I'm sorry for the way I've been acting lately
Can I blame it on that hit of LSD?

I didn't ask for this but no one has the answers
Just call me Elton John, I'll be your tiny dancer
I can see the yellow bricks ahead
Can't tell if it's all in my
Can't tell if it's all in my
Can't tell if it's all in my head
