Graham Parker Clear Head lyrics

Look round, baby, tell me what you say
Am I imagining it, is it me?
Does the world get faster day by day?
You better get a clear head, hey

What a shock? You better start to pray
Even the dumb got something to say
Even the blind ain't lookin' away
But you better get a clear head, hey
Ah, you better get a clear head, hey

I tell you clear head, clear head
Clear head, clear head
You better get a clear head, hey
You better get one now

Mona Lisa wears a frown 'cause
'Cause everybody's trying to shut her down
They say it's my turn too I want my share
But you better get a clear head, yeah

On the fault line as the sun rises
The only prizes were torture devices
Californians say, ‽Have a real nice day
But they better get a clear head, hey”
Yeah, they'd better get a clear head, hey

I tell you clear head, clear head
Clear head, clear head
You better get a clear head, hey
You better get one now


Clear head, clear head, yeah
Clear head, clear head, yeah

Blind half the time, have to be
Blind, crazy on a shell shocked bay
If you want to get it on this way
You'd better get a clear head hey, hey

In days gone by, it was a diseased rye
They burned them up and said the answer is God
They talk all night and stayed awake all day, they said
‽You better get a clear head, hey”

Six weeks solitary in the dark
A pinball's gained and lost the vital spark
Like a crazy fever on a planet today
You better get a clear head, hey
Ah, you better get a clear head, hey, I tell you

I tell you clear head, clear head
Clear head, clear head
You better get a clear head, hey
You better get one now

Clear head, clear head, yeah
Clear head, clear head, yeah
Clear head, clear head, yeah
Clear head, yeah
You better get one now
