Headbroken Blues


My heart is a mess,
and my head's not much better.
I feel like a chihuahua
without a sweater
caught outside in the middle
of a Minnesota winter,
shaking and a-shivering out in the cold,
feeling like some kind of bloody fool,
yelping like a lunatic in the wind,
wondering when this all will end.
My heart is a mess,
and my head's not much better.

I wish that I could get it all together,
find some kind of shelter from all this bad weather;
but I've got a broken head and a confused heart,
and in this condition it's hard to find a place to start.
I wish that I could get it all together.

My heart is a mess,
and my head's not much better.
I wish that I knew just what to do,
I feel like a stamped envelope,
unaddressed without a letter.
I could go anywhere,
do anything I please,
but without a purpose
all this freedom's just a tease.
My future may be wide open,
but it just looks like a blur,
like I'm walking through this world
with no idea what I'm walking towards.
My heart is a mess,
and my head's not much better.

I wish I knew just what to do,
that I had a clear destination that I was headed to
but I've got a broken head and a confused heart,
and in this condition it's hard to find a place to start.
I wish I knew just what to do.

My heart is a mess,
and my head's not much better.
I feel like a formal dinner table
without a sweater.
The guests are arriving;
and they're ready to eat,
disgruntled to find no
place settings at their seats.
I'm doing the best I can,
but if someone could lend a hand;
fill my with a spread, and I'll give support
for you once again.
My heart is a mess,
and my head's not much better.

I wish I could give you everything you wanted,
just give and give for ever and remain undaunted;
but I've got a broken head and a confused heart,
and in this condition it's hard to find a place to start.
I wish I could give you everything you wanted.
