I laid back in the sun, didn't know I'd have to run,
Strange things came out from the earth,
They took me by surprise as they crawled into my eyes,
Strange things came out from the earth,
I started to scream to make sure it weren't a dream,
But they still came out from the earth,
I threw my arms around, stamping at the ground,
Strange things came out from the earth,
What they were I do not know, where they'd come from, why they'd showed up,
Strange things came out from the earth,
Crawling 'cross the ground over my feet without a sound,
Strange things came out from the earth,
Silently they came, relentlessly they gnawed me,
Strange things came out from the earth,
I thought I was done but then I started to run,
Strange things came out from the earth,
You might say you don't believe me,
But I know it's what I saw,
You might say you don't believe me,
But I'm sure it's what I saw,
And now we're floating away,
Away ...
I wanted to speak but I couldn't really think,
Strange things came out from my mouth,
Frozen in space with no control over my face,
Strange things came out from my mouth,
As I watched my words not believing what I heard,
Strange things came out from my mouth,
They twisted in the air but I didn't really care,
When strange things came out from my mouth,
I could not contain, I did not refrain,
Strange things came out from my mouth,
That uncontrolled desire to set your sex on fire,
Strange things came out from my mouth,
So I kissed you there and then you didn't have to tell me when,
Strange things came out from my mouth,
Your hand it touched my groin sending shivers through my loins,
Strange things came out from my mouth,
And I know I wasn't dreaming,
At the time I was so sure,
And I knew I shouldn't do it,
But that made me want you more,
And now we're floating away,
Away ...
So when you don't know what to do,
Don't know where you're heading to,
And strange things come out your head,
Let them stay a while,
Watch them as you smile,
And remember what we said,
When we talked away,
And the rest just couldn't know what those things were,
That flew around and around,
The passion and desire are not tangible in the cold light of day,
That I have found,
But what I we were forever fixed between that moment,
And caught by the things that came out from our heads?
What if I were good?
What if you were bad?
What if I were happy?
What if you were sad?
What if I had cried?
What if you had bled?
Remember all the rhythmix in the words of what we said,
And strange things,
Came out from our heads,
And strange things,
Came out from our heads,
Did you ever think your life would be like this today?
Did you ever wonder why or how the dreams all went away?
Do you look into the mirror and lie point-blank to your face?
Do you pay yourself attention as you stare out into space?
Did you lie about your future?
Did you lie about your past?
Did you lie about your mother?
Do you think that it will last?
Did you think that you should compromise and swallow the bitter pill?
But you passed onto the other side, I can see you still,
As the patterns slowly faded and your heart was filled with dread,
Did you scream out loud to save yourself,
When strange things came out of your head?
Came out of your head,
Came out of head,
Came out of your head,
Came out of head,
And strange things came out of my head,
And strange things came out of my head,
And strange things came out of my head,
And strange things came out of my head,
And strange things came out of my head,
