Lyrics[]
I shed my skin When the party was about to begin I'm light years away but I'm walking back Tonight of all nights When I should be feeling just right Don't want to be in public My head is full of chopstick I don't like it [CHORUS] Something on my mind Breaking open doors I'd sealed up before Something on my mind Makes me run when I thought I'd run too far Somebody's shaking my tree Maybe that somebody is me I'm standing in the light But I'm making a break for The shadows on the cinema wall They should be mine but I'm not that tall Now I'm saying this in private If I had a car I'd drive it Insane [CHORUS] I'm looking for cracks in the pavement
