Lyrics[]

When all this mess will ever get away, apart from Chinatown
Weaving in and out of line, the sidewalk's full of merchandise
And now my nervous tick has got to quit, my cheeks are chewed down to the bit
Upon the roof is stealing as the hustling crowds still reached out
I go up there and light a leaf and wish our turn was next now
And there will have been some of us that's back inside a haunted house
I packed my bags and filled 'em with my useless drive by merry homes


This wilderness up in my head, this wilderness up in my head,
This wilderness needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom


Is there no reason it could be the way it was, please look at me
My three best friends so casually just letting go so joyfully
And if I let my emotions out, and if I let my spirit rise
I'll always be happy or now is it just trying to divide?
It makes me think my dearest things are not what they're supposed to be
I trick myself at anytime I've got to keep up, oh my God
And hope that I will not be wrong and keep my faith inside a song
And we'll make up, which reminds me not to leave them back inside


This wilderness up in my head, this wilderness up in my head,
This wilderness needs to get right out of my clothes and get into my bedroom


Lion in a coma, lion in a coma


Sometimes the sun will shine, yes I'm just feelin' fine
Sometimes I'm not aware where I am or what I care
Sometimes I'm well-to-do but I don't know what to do
Sometimes I don't agree with my thoughts on bein' free


Please don't leave me, seems I feel good,
I've been lucky trying to feel good


Lion in a coma, lion in a coma
Who wants to smell the fine aroma?
Lion in a coma, lion in a coma
Who wants to run again at home?
A lion in a coma, lion in a coma
Who wants to use his aching bones?
A lion in a coma, lion in a coma
Don't keep me lying in a coma
