King Diamond Lyrics
"The Floating Head"

I'm in the hallway on the floor
I cannot stand the dark no more
Oh I'm lighting candles everywhere
I try to keep the darkness out of here

Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can't control how I feel

Now I'm on the second floor
I cannot stand the dark no more
Still I'm lighting candles everywhere
I try to stay awake out of fear

Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can't control how I feel

,Or what is real
For the pictures in red they are still in my head
How can I believe in all of the things I see
When there's a floating head outside watching me

The floating head has disappeared
I got to get some water in my face
I turn towards the mirror on the wall
The little sink is filling up, the water's cold

Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can't control how I feel

, Or what is real
For behind me is the wrinkled head of a woman who's dead
No body, just the head, strong hands around my neck
Forcing me under water, I'm drowning
Ah, Ah, Ah, I got to breathe
Ah, Ah, Ah, got to break free

Inside my mind nightmares are turning real
Oh inside my mind I can't control how I feel

,Or what is real
For the pictures in red they are still in my head
How can I believe in all of the things I see
When there's a floating head outside watching me
