(Ray Davies) Wakin' up, feeling rough Totally stressed Every day it's a dead[?] time Step by step Hit a wall, took a fall To a new depth Count to ten, focusin' Take a deep breath In a world that is close to breakin' I thought that you were my friend In a world that is full of hatin' And[I'm?] about to descend I just smile and pretend[?] I'm a million miles away from it all And let it go right over my head Let 'em chase and the winner take all And let it go right over my head Over my head, yeah Over my head Over my head Everywhere, everyone Questioning me Are you ill? Are you well? Do you like being free? Didn't know you were close to breaking So you thought it should end Left it all for a new location So you could start up again So keep keep smilin' till then Right now I want some peace of mind So let it go right over my head Just want to give myself a little more time And every single word that you said Went over my head, yeah Over my head Over my head Little girl I was so mistaken Thought that you were my friend In a world that is full of hatin' I'm about to descend Didn't know you were close to breakin' So you thought it should end Left it all for a new location So you could start up again So keep smilin' till then I'm a million miles away from it all And let it go right over my head Let 'em chase and the winner take all And let it go right over my head Right now I want some peace of mind So let it go right over my head Just want to give myself a little more time And every single word that you said Went over my head, yeah Over my head Over my head Close the door, let me please Get to my bed I wanna take stock, see my life In perspective Tomorrow I'll be back in the race, till then Live and let live So let all the anger pass me by Over my head Over my head Over my head
