My Head Sounds Like That

Peter Gabriel

the metal jangles as the key turns

unlock the door, wipe my feet clean

oh my head sounds like that



the oil is spitting in the saucepan

i squeeze the sponge and let the cat out

oh my head sounds like that

oh my head

oh oh oh

oh oh oh



the water's dripping in the hallway

the guy next door, he knocks his wall down

oh my head sounds like that



the knife it scrapes across the burnt brown toast

the freight train rumbles past my window

oh my head sounds like that

oh my head

oh oh oh

oh oh oh

oh oh oh



around the axis we all spin

to determine what's left out and what's left in

what's left out and what's left in

what's left out and what's left in

who's left out and who's left in

who's left in



the moments come and go like water

i try to hold them but they're fading

oh my head sounds like that

oh my head

oh oh oh
