Rhyme & Reason Songtext
von Dave Matthews Band

Oh well oh well so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
But can not turn to it
′Cause I'm all locked up in this
Dark place
And I do not know (I′m good as dead)
My head aches, warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain

My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I′m dead and gone
My head won′t leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I′m six feet underground


How long I'm tied up
My mind in knots
My stomach reels
In concern on what I might do or
What I′ve done
It's got me living in fear
Well I know these voices must
Be my soul
I′ve had enough
I've had enough of being alone
But I've got no place to go

My head won′t leave my head alone
And I don′t believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
My head won′t leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I′m six feet underground

In my grave
Lying wired, shut and quiet in my grave
Leave me here
Leave it to me to waste here

So young and here I am again
Talking to myself
A T.V. blares
Oh man
Oh how I wish I didn't smoke
Or drink to reason with my head


But sometimes this thick confusion
Grows until I cannot bear it at all
Needle to the vein
Needle to the vein
Take this needle from my vein my friend
I said

My head won′t leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
Until I'm dead and gone
My head won′t leave my head alone
And I don′t believe it will
Until I'm six feet underground

In my grave
Lying
Lying cold in my grave
The reason
My reason
Take my head off this terror
The fearing oh come back
I can′t see my mind's all wiped clean
But the needle
Make my great escape

I seem caught in time
My head leaves me behind
Body fall cold dead
And I see heaven
