Gonna crawl inside your head
Gonna move a few things around
You got your furniture up against the doors
It’s bound to be slowing you down
You’ve been getting in your own way
And that’s a silly thing to do
I’m gonna crawl inside your head
And make it work a little better for you
Gonna crawl inside
Gonna crawl inside
Gonna crawl inside your heart
Gonna bring a whole bunch of paint
‘Cause from the outside it’s so beautiful
And from the inside it just ain’t
And I know this will be hard for you
But your graffiti’s gotta go
I’m gonna crawl inside your soul
So you can see what we all know
Gonna crawl inside
Gonna crawl inside
Gonna crawl inside your soul
Gonna cook you up a little meal
You’ve been feeding yourself this garbage
Makes you feel the way you feel
I mean you got stuff in your refrigerator
That’s way way overdue
I’m gonna crawl inside your soul
And give you something that’s good for you
I’m gonna crawl inside
I’m gonna crawl inside
And then when we’ve got the dishes washed
And soaked the brushes in turpentine
I was wondering if you might have a minute
To help me work on mine
I’m gonna crawl inside
I’m gonna crawl inside
And by the way…
…Lyrically, this was inspired by a couple of people I know and love. They shall remain nameless to protect the guilty. Musically, it’s inspired by Beth Wood and Chris Rosser. I had been writing a bunch of heavier songs for a good stretch before this one, and this just showed up one morning while I was waking up in a Comfort Inn in Commerce, Georgia. I was glad to see it arrive. The main inspiration for the song figured out that it was pointed in that direction, and likes it. I feel good about that.
