They tell me it's a problem That I keep on ending things I say everyone else Holds on too long and clings Have they been paying attention To the hum in my ears Subtle, high-pitched Ringing for years and years Nobody seems to listen Volume's too loud It's easier, it's convenient With your head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds Tell me the last time You felt truly alive Stripped of your armor Sifting through 45s Rain tastes sweetest No haze in the air When a storm shakes the windows And steals your clothes bare Nobody seems to listen Volume's too loud It's easier, it's convenient With your head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds Head up in the clouds
