Holiday Away From My Mind

My head is full of traffic it's a peak hour crawl
All the horns and the sirens are screaming
I'd really love to get away from it all
But there's no avoiding the dreaming

I need a holiday away from my head
To find a quiet place, do something else instead

My brain is with the dishes in the kitchen sink
Garbage is constantly calling
The way that I live becomes the way that I think
No wonder it feels like I'm falling

I need a holiday away from my head
To find a quiet place, do something else instead
A holiday away from my head
Now is the perfect time to make a change of mind
Who knows what I'll find

The baby is crying now he must be wet
Time for a change of nappy
Ten billion connections in my neural net
But can one of them make me happy?

I need a holiday away from my head
To find a quiet place, do something else instead
A holiday away from my head
Now is the perfect time to make a change of mind
I need a holiday away from my head
A lovely holiday away from my head

I want a window seat on the astral plane
I want to take me away for awhile from my worn out brain
I'm going to put my soul up a ten foot pole in a plastic bag
