What's In The Middle Lyrics

Oh yeah, yeah
Uno, dos, tres, quattro

Where is the middle, is the middle of your mind?
Is it the place where you stop, where you just stop trying?
Call out the dogs and let them have a sniff
They might catch a little scent before you just forget it

Losing your head is such a common theme
All your brains are falling out, falling out the open seams
Where is the heart, is the heart of the matter
I must empty up my skull of all this useless chatter

I want an empty head
I wanna go to bed for a long, long, long time
I wanna fall behind
And not a get in line for a long, long, long time

What’s in a name if it’s a name you can’t remember
You thought you had it down but then you ran back to the center
What’s in a word if the word has lost it’s meaning
If you say it all the time a dirty word will get its cleaning

Where is the end, is the edge of understanding?
I might think it’s overrated or can’t take the mind expanding
Give me a pint, a little push in one direction
I might need a little help with my own interconnection

I want an empty head
I wanna go to bed for a long, long, long time
I wanna fall behind
And not a get in line for a long, long, long time

Ah ah ah ah etc.

I want an empty head
I wanna go to bed for a long, long, long time
I wanna fall behind
And not a get in line for a long, long, long time

When I first heard this on Bones, I thought it was a little too quirky, but George's voice and the clever phrasing grew on me. I really wish I'd heard this song while I was still in college or grad school, because it describes the feeling of burn out so well. It would've made good background music for studying.

Yes. This is a GREAT song.

The meaning is obvious, and it's perfect to expression how much you want to relax.

It's like being sick and tired of being sick and tired.
