Straight To My Head

from "Straight To My Head" / "Dead Bird" by The Harmony Motel

lyrics

The sensation's intense. Don't know why, it just is when it hits in the brain.
No spirit moving me. It's all done vis-a-vis, within me you're engrained.

I can't say where you got me. I swear I won't give in again.
But if I try real hard to admit the truth, you've gone straight to my head.

My resistance was strong. I beseeched thee be gone, tried to perish the thought.
But your effect was true, casting off the doubts and throwing off the binds and lines. I find that I welcome this sweet defeat.

I can't say where you got me. I swear I won't give in again.
But if I try real hard to admit the truth, you've gone straight to my head.
