lyrics

I was born on the back of a carrier pigeon
When I’m vaguely asked whose shoes I fill
I say “sorry kind sir, but who the hell are you thinking you are??”
I am a vigilante man who leads a band and doesn’t care about
All the pretty people kissing up and trying to see in my head
They’re in my head; they’re in my head

Can’t be certain if the nurse it trying to heal me or concealing a weapon
A nice one, she’s licensed they said
As they lowered my body into cold, cold water and ran
They rented camels at Christmas for $2600
The pageant was endless; the soundtrack is stuck in my head
Stuck in my head; stuck in my head

I am yours for free! All you gotta do is notice me
I’ll bring you home again, please come home again; please come home again

I was a sailor back then just trying to mail you a package
With a little note to tell you that our love could be endless
But I never could find the right office that would do it for free
I was a rambling boy mixing up my dates
And it nearly had me killed until I wound up saving myself
Please don’t ask for help; please don’t ask for help

I am yours for free! All you gotta do is count on me!
I’ll bring you home again, please come home again; please come home again

There’s never room in the budget for a dude like me
I’ll put my whole life’s worth into your company
There isn’t profit in a bid that’s simply trying to make the enemy smile
I had smiled at the woman getting water like a trophy of innocence
I saw right through that shit; we became friends
Now she’s stuck in my head, she’s stuck in my head

I am yours for free! All you gotta do is follow me
I’ll bring you home again, please come home again; please come home again

I was born on the back of a carrier pigeon
When I’m vaguely asked whose shoes I fill
I say “sorry kind sir, but who the hell are you thinking you are??”
I am a vigilante man who leads a band and doesn’t care about
All the pretty people kissing up and trying to see in my head
They’re in my head; they’re in my head
