lyrics

Woke up this morning to a haze that ain’t there
I got a 2 by 4 that’s stuck in my hair
I’m playing records that ain’t got no grooves
I’m spending credit cards that no one approves

Monkeys in a jungle
Ride the ferris wheel

I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I Don’t want ‘em tailin’ me*
I’m readin’ between the lines
I don’t hear what they say to me
I’m servin em tales in kind
But they don’t want to let me be

Don’t want it
I’m gonna leave all my demons behind

I spend a minute to buy a whole day
Start the engine and I drive away
The champagne cork hits you in the eye
They ain’t no hook on this fishin line
---
Questions ain’t the answer
Illusion of a dream

I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I Don’t want ‘em tailin’ me
I’m readin’ between the lines
I don’t hear what they say to me
I’m servin em tales in kind
But they don’t want to let me be

Don’t want it
I’m gonna leave all my demons behind

Swimmin upstream
You know what I mean
I ain’t gonna play for this team

Thanksgivin’ cactus only blooms in the dark
Don’t need no preacher cause I know my part

Life is but a number
Beads upon a string

I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I Don’t want ‘em tailin’ me
I’m readin’ between the lines
I don’t hear what they say to me

I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I hope they don’t follow me
I’m servin em tales in kind
But they don’t want to let me be

I’m leaving my demons behind
Yeh I hope they don’t follow me

Don’t want it
I’m gonna leave all my demons behind
