Lyrics:
I've got a question
Now please don't think me strange
How does the world look inside of your brain?

Because I've begun to question
Everything I've ever known
And when I turn the light on, there's still nobody home

Just call me Houdini
I'm an escapologist
From all of the things inside me that just don't seem to fit

It feels like I'm swimming around
The world inside my brain
I was hoping my singing to you that it might help explain

That I'm pulling my parachute now
Gravity can't bring me down
Floating on my parachute
The world can't touch me now
Cos I'm pulling my parachute
To let my hair down

Do you have an answer?
I think I have a few
How about we go and sit down, just me and you?

I can hear the kettle boil
But it doesn't make a sound
Feels like I'm buried deep thirty feet underground

Now I'm looking in the mirror
What do I look like to him?
A simple reflection in glass or another man's skin?

I still have a question
I ask it every day
Why does the world look weird from inside of my brain?

That I'm pulling my parachute now
Gravity can't bring me down
Floating on my parachute
The world can't touch me now
Cos I'm pulling my parachute
To let my hair down
