[Verse 1]
Got a tan line on my conscience
Red as Uluru at dusk
Every thought a flock of galahs
Screaming
“Mate
Just trust us”
They say quit your job on Tuesday
Start a band in Byron Bay
Tattoo every stupid idea
Down your arm in faded grey
[Chorus]
I know the voices in my head aren’t real
But sometimes their ideas are absolutely awesome
Like “chase the storm across the Nullarbor”
“Turn your fear into a surfboard
Ride it ‘til it’s worn”
I know the voices in my head aren’t real
But they’ve got me laughing till the morning’s out of options
If I’m a little weird
A little torn
At least my madness keeps me warm
[Verse 2]
They say call your mum at midnight
Tell her you forgive yourself
Book a ticket out to Perth
Hide your doubts on Cottesloe shelf
Paint your bedroom like the reef
Messy
Bright
A little wrong
Kiss the stranger at the tram stop
If they hum your favourite song (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I know the voices in my head aren’t real
But sometimes their ideas are absolutely awesome
Like “build a castle in a share-house yard”
“Name your plants
Treat every crack like modern art”
I know the voices in my head aren’t real
But they’ve got me dancing where the wild things blossom
If I’m a little strange
A little torn
At least my madness keeps me warm
[Bridge]
Which one’s me
And which one’s echo
When I jump
Who lets go
They’re pouring starlight in my coffee
Daring me to taste the wrong thing right now (right now)
[Chorus]
I know the voices in my head aren’t real
But sometimes their ideas are absolutely awesome
Like “drive all night to watch the sunrise bleed”
Over some forgotten beach that only we believe
I know the voices in my head aren’t real
But they turn my quiet into something kind of cosmic
If I’m a little weird
A little torn
At least my madness keeps me warm
