Lyrics I Put My Headphones On - Jill Sobule

I Put My Headphones On

I’m in the wings
When you push me on
But I’ll never learn
The words to the songs
And there I stand naked
They’re staring at me
Laughing at me
I’m by the locker
Turning the dial
The hallway is empty
And stretches for miles
I’m on a boat
And it go over falls
You reach for my hand but
It just breaks off
Suddenly wake up
It was only a dream
I’m back in the good cage that you made for me
But when you are working or fast asleep
I put my headphones on
I put my headphones on
I’m in the backyard
Burying the bones
Don’t know why I did it
Hope no one will know
I can’t seem to hide
The remains of my crime
I never learned to fly
Suddenly wake up
It was only a dream
I’m back in the good cage that you made for me
But there may be someone who listens to me
I’ll put my headphones on
I’ll put my headphones on
I’ll put my headphones on
I’ll put my headphones on
Flip the record
Headphones on
Court and Spark, the seventh song
Joni Sings Love is gone
Love is gone
Janis Ian’s Seventeen
That song from 10cc
Alone Again, Naturally
Someone has it worse than me
Sam Stone, Major Tom
Captain Jack and Delta Dawn
Alvin Tostig, Sweet Jane
Music, wash away my pain
I’ll put my headphones on
I’ll put my headphones on
(Love is gone)
I’ll put my headphones on
(Sam Stone, Major Tom
Captain Jack and Delta Dawn)
I’ll put my headphones on
I’ll put my headphones on
I’ll put my headphones on
I’ll put my headphones on
