hey i'd like to daze away to a place no one has known

in a state of mind i could call mine and only i could own

where i can hum a tune any time i choose and there's no such thing as time

where i can feel no pain just calm and sane what a place for one to find



now ya see i'm watching everything i do

and they're watching everything i say

why won't they leave me be?

why am i even here? i wonder

you leave me wondering

won't you stop watching me

i said they're watching me, watching me, watching me



now in my corner i got the ceiling in my eyes

arms holding up my knees, and rockin' back and forths my life

i didn't mean to feel this way when i walked into the door, lord

then they ripped away my memories

and i can't remember who i was before



now ya see i'm watching everything i do

and they're watching everything i say

why won't they leave me be?

why am i even here? i wonder

you leave me wondering

won't you stop watching me

i said they're watching me, watching me, watching me



i only wanted to be sixteen and free
