Lyrics: INXS. Elegantly Wasted. Don't Lose Your Head.

You shot your mouth off like a kid
Who's scared to have a heart
You're losing grip of what really matters
'Cause you don't know where to start
You wake up in the morning
With a starfuck for a friend
The things you do are so in tune
With what you said you hate
What's giving you the will to live
Is it looking for revenge
The only laugh that you've got left
Is from hiding from the pain
What must have happened to your soul
Is skinnin' you alive
The thing that you fear the most is love
and that's buried deep inside
So deep inside
Don't lose your head
'Cause I can't do the time
Don't lose your head
Or can you pay the price

The heart you're building out of rock
Is turning into sand
'Cause you never took the time to think
What it means to be a man
You act like you got the answer
When the question's never asked
I've been to where you're coming from
But the postcards weren't so bad
The knife I carry's been sharpened
On the mouths that won't keep shut
I'll stab at you in the darkness
'Cause I'm trying to shed some light
Your point of view's so meaningless
If you ever had one at all
All you seem to care about
Is who's is gonna take the fall
Who's gonna take the fall for you

Don't lose your head
Now I can't do the time for you
Don't lose your head
Can you pay the price

Don't lose your head
'Cause I can't do the time
Don't lose your head
But can you pay the price

Don't lose your head
If you can't do the time
Don't lose your head
Can you pay the price

Don't lose your head
You can't pay the price
Don't lose your head
You know I can't do the time
