lyrics

Went to a psychic to get my hair dyed
My barista said “Ahh, she’s the future”
Said there’s a doctor you really gotta try
She can heal up your sense of humor

Went to college for an education
If reality bites I want some truth with some teeth
Professor in a Star Wars t-shirt
Said only a fool thinks he can know anything

I put my head in the sand looking for the light
Head in the sand looking for the light
Head in the sand looking for the light
But I had nothing to show for it

I said I’m hungry to the man in the moon
He said my shaman will feed your soul
Note on his door said I took a little trip
Up to Heaven or Hell I don’t know

I left a message with the secretary of the governor
He said you’ll get an answer soon I sent it to your senator
A week later got a letter from Mr. President
Said my query’s got him all discombobulated

I put my head in the sand looking for the light
Head in the sand looking for the light
I put my head in the sand looking for the light
But I had nothing to show for it

I put my head in the sand looking for the light
I put my head in the sand looking for the light
I put my head in the sand looking for the light
But I had nothing to show for it

I did a left footed dance in a fist fight
Found me a friend to tell me sweet lies
But I ended up empty handed yeah I did

I put my head in the sand looking for the light
Head in the sand looking for the light
Head in the sand looking for the light
But I had nothing to show for it
