Mental As Anything Holiday Away From My Head Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My head is full of traffic, it's a peak hour crawl
All the horns and the sirens are screaming
I'd really love to run away from it all
But there's no avoiding the dreaming

[Chorus, condensed]
I need a holiday away from my head
To find a quiet place, do something else instead

[Verse 2]
My brain is with the dishes in the kitchen sink
The garbage is constantly calling
The way that I live becomes the way that I think
No wonder it feels like I'm falling
[Chorus]
I need a holiday away from my head
To find a quiet place, do something else instead
A holiday away from my head
Now is a perfect time to make a change of mind
Who knows what I'll find?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Baby is crying now, he must be wet Time for a change of nappy
Ten billion connections in [?]
But can one of them make me happy?

[Chorus]
I need a holiday away from my head
To find a quiet place, do something else instead
A holiday away from my head
Now is a perfect time to make a change of mind
A holiday away from my head (Holiday away from my head)
I need a holiday away from my head (Holiday away from my head)
A lovely holiday away from my head (Holiday away from my head)
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh-oh (Holiday away from my head)
(Holiday away from my head)
Want a window seat
(Holiday away from my head)
On the astral plane (Holiday away from my head)
Gonna take me away for a while
(Holiday away from my head)
For a while, now babe
(Holiday away from my head)
