Can't Stop Thinking Lyrics – Brett Dennen

I was numb, I couldn't sleep
Gently strung out on caffeine
Did I fall in love or was I just delirious?

I was dumb, found you
My dirty mind was wanderin'
I was wishin' that I could be kissin' your skin

And now you're in my head
You're always in my head
And now you're in my head

And I can't stop thinkin' about you
All day long, it's all I do
From the moment that I wake up
No, I can't stop thinkin' about you

And it makes me sad
Because I know that you don't want me
And all these thoughts in my head
They tease me and they taunt me, oh, yeah

All the broken hearts in London town
Strewn about the tube in the underground
All the voices burning in my brain
And making me insane

And now you're in my head
You're always in my head
And now you're in my head

And I, I can't stop thinkin' about you
All day long, it's all I do
From the moment that I wake up
You know I can't stop thinkin' about you

And it makes me sad
Because I know that you don't want me
All these thoughts up in my head
They tease me and they taunt me, taunt me, alright, yeah

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I can't stop thinkin' about you
All day long, it's all I do
From the moment that I wake up
You know I can't stop thinkin' about you

I can't stop thinkin' about you
All day long, it's all I do
From the moment, from the moment that I wake up
I can't stop thinkin' about you
I said I can't, I can't stop thinkin'
No, I can't, I can't stop thinking about you
No, no, no, I can't stop

I can't stop thinking about you, about you, baby
From the moment, from the moment that I wake up
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't stop thinking about you

Must Be Losing My Mind Lyrics – Brett Dennen

Burned out in the lawn in Tuscon, Arizona
With the scavengers on 4th Avenue
Feeling old, boredom of the second hand stores
Hoping maybe I could find something new

Now, now, now, now, now
Here it comes
Here it comes again

Behind the theater, in the alley by the dumpsters
Far away from the glow of the marquee
There alone in the darkness, below the Hotel Congress
I was [?] for a second but I then I fell asleep

Now here it comes
Here it comes again, ah
Yeah, here comes that feeling, yeah

I must be losing my mind
(I'm losing, I'm losing my mind)
I must be losing my mind

Oh, my God, there's ghosts in my hotel room
Why do they bother me here?
Oh, my heart, hey, where is my lover?
She, she built a way to the southern hemisphere

I hear them laughing at me, the nuns are laughing at me
The homes are laughing at me too
They think I'm lying in there, they think I'm foolish but that
But that don't make me a fool, no, no, no, no, no, no

I must be losing my mind
(I'm losing, I'm losing my mind)
I must be losing my mind
(I'm losing, I'm losing, I'm losing my mind)
But it sure feels fine, you know it sure feels fine

Who am I talking to and what am I saying
Why doubt these words I don't believe?
There's no one stopping you so why are you staying?
Are you as crazy as me?

Huh, I'm in these shadows dying, lying in this street
Nobody's set their soul, anything at all
Nobody notices, no one goes in there
And it scares me, don't know where, nowhere at all

I must be losing my mind
(I'm losing, I'm losing my mind)
I must be losing my mind
(I'm losing, I'm losing, I'm losing my mind)
Yeah, you know but it sure feels fine
You know it sure feels right
Yeah, it does, yes, it does

Ah, here it comes again
Uh, yeah, it's coming on strong again
You know, I'm dancing with my thoughts again
Yeah, my words they don't make any sense and no, no, no

And no, no, no, no, here it comes again, yeah
Ah, these feelings I don't understand
Ah, I'm dancing with my thoughts again
My, my words they don't make any sense

No, no, no, no
They just don't make any sense

Song For Leaving Lyrics – Brett Dennen

Like a southbound train
Here's a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing

Moon with a halo
Like a pearl in a peasant's hand
Religion on the radio
Advertising a promised land

Everything that attaches
Someday falls apart
When the plan collapses
It can break your heart

Like a southbound train
This is a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing
Like a southbound train
Here is a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing

To the airport in the rain
Sadness seeping through
Leaving faith on a jet plane
Hurling through the blue

Love is the tear
That taught me to fall
Whispered in my ear
Soothing me to my soul

Like a southbound train
Here's a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing

Quiet constellations
I don't walk through the night
Silent salutations
Under a southwestern sky

Battlegrounds behind me
Smoke in the trees
Memories to remind me
Puts my soul to ease

Like a southbound train
Here's a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing
Like a southbound train
This is a song for leaving
Don't you know the pain
It's a part of the healing
This is a train
Get on the train
Get on the train...

Queen Of The Westside Lyrics – Brett Dennen

Where is my shit?
oh
you know it

She's making love for breakfast
in Venice
In the little white house with rent control
She's got
Turquoise tiles on the counter in the kitchen
she cooks she listens to Nina Simone

and all the hipsters on the east side
they think they're too cool for school
but they don't know
She's the queen of the west side
and she rocks me to my soul
she rocks me to my soul

She's sunbathing in her bare skin
I'm jealous of the light shining on her back
"Where is my shit?"
Well, I'm walking down Montana and I'm singing I'm in heaven
Hoping that she asks me to come back

All the know it alls on the Northside
They think they know
They dont know
What I know

She's the Queen of the Westside
yes she is
she rocks me to my soul
she rocks me to my soul
she rocks me to my soul

Little Cosmic Girl Lyrics – Brett Dennen

When you're sleeping, safe from harm
What you do dream about when you're in my arms?
All through the night the world was spinning
At the speed of light
Wars were fought, while I held you tight

You fell deep into an untamed sleep
When the moon begin to creep
And the comets keep their promises
While the constellations weep

[Chorus:]
Little cosmic girl, isn't it a big world?
Say, don't you worry about the little things
Don't let the daylight rob your dreams
Little cosmic girl, isn't it a wild world?
There is love and there is sadness
And there are miracles and madness
And we may never understand
No we may never understand

We are traveling in a minstrel's circus
In that caravan across the universe
All at once our bitter grudges
Were put to rest
Deaths were mourned, while births were blessed
Are we an accident in time
Or part of a grand design
Press your body close to mine

[Chorus x2]

Tell me do you believe, my little cosmic girl, in what you cannot see

Do you believe [3x] in what you cannot see, my little cosmic girl
[Repeats to fade out]

Walk Away, Watch Me Burn Lyrics – Brett Dennen

Woke up early this mornin'
To a thunder and rainstorm
Last night I forgot to close
My windows

My home's been broken
And my heart has been blown wide open
I don't wanna feel angry
I don't wanna feel empty
I don't want no sympathy

Who am I to blame?
What can I say? I'll never learn
Going down in flames
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn

I was thinking 'bout my place in the universe
Looking at the Earth's curve
How much my little heart can hurt
Some people got a lot of nerve

I'm not afraid
No, I never been afraid of failure
I'm not afraid of global warmin'
Or the market crashin'
Or the terrorists attackin'

Who am I to blame?
What can I say? I will never learn
I'm goin' down in flames
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn

I swam in the ocean in the night
Under the stars it's so clear
My pale body bouncin' in the waves
I felt I could disappear, I'm still here, yes, I am

Who am I to blame?
What can I say? I will never learn
I'm goin' down in flames
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn
Walk away, watch me burn
