Lyrics
When you look at me
Don't think that I'm stoned
The lights may be on
I'm just not at home
If that sounds crazy
Listen to this line
My mind is on vacation
My mouth is working overtime
If you think that I'm out to lunch
I've gone bananas in a bunch
My mind is on vacation
My mouth is working overtime
You think I'm nuts then that's just fine
Come on and read between the lines
My mind is on vacation
My mouth is working overtime
Ignorance is bliss...I doubt it's divine
If you think that's true... I'm one step behind
If that sounds crazy
Listen to this line
My mind is on vacation
My mouth is working overtime
If you think that I'm out to lunch
I've gone bananas in a bunch
My mind is on vacation
My mouth is working overtime
You think I'm nuts then that's just fine
Come on and read between the lines
My mind is on vacation
My mouth is working overtime
