Lyrics

The TV lights the room
Like a strobe against the wall
I've watched all afternoon
Without watching at all
I'm thinking of you dear
Every moment I'm awake
I tied my hands with rope
And want to escape
Did I make a mistake?
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
There's a demon on the loose
He's a head-hunter I'm sure
'Cause I saw him late last night
Knocking on my bedroom door
I have worries in my blood
Pumping through my body's veins
And when I speak I don't make sense
But believe me when I sing
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah-ah-ah
