Off His Head lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

Any other night, I could leave you alone

Anybody might just believe I had flown

Maybe they were right when they said that

Everybody makes mistakes

But not everyone breaks hearts

Should have been a new start

Save me

When you don't know what to say

And you won't have any sway

You hold your own

And do it anyway

When you meet your match,

you can bow down or stand

Always there's a catch,

and it's soon out of hand

As you make a mess, make your best guess

Could it all end the same?

When you pour gas on a bonfire

Everything goes up in flames

What a shame

When you don't know what to say

And you won't have any sway

You hold your own

And do it anyway

And your Daddy's off his head

'Cause he just heard what you said

You're out of hope

And wishin' you were dead

It all gets lost in the translation

It's all in the details

What's the cost of the temptation?

You're gonna pay retail

Fingers crossed for a salvation

Or retaliation at least

And your Daddy's off his head

'Cause he just heard what you said

You're out of hope

And wishin' you were dead

When you don't know what to say

And you won't have any sway

You hold your own

And do it anyway

You hold your own

And do it anyway
