I stand around at American weddings
I stand around for family
At my best when I'm terrorist inside
At my best when it's all me

I was there when they took all the people
I was alone in a mental ravine
You breathe life when you break the walls down
You breathe life when you set me free

Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
Why are my days so far from home?
Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
Can you save me from myself?

Can you save me from myself?

Free-thinking renegade social
Mister Moon Man now
Out of the slipstream of my possibilities
Got the boat so we don't drown

These are the days that I'm split down the middle
No words to calm me down
Be sure that what you dream of
Won't come to hunt you down

Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
Why are my days so far from home?
Ghostman
Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
How come we get so lost?
Ghostman
Ghostman

Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
Can you save me from myself? 
Ghostman

Bush

Bush is a rock band formed in London in 1992 shortly after vocalist/guitarist Gavin Rossdale and guitarist Nigel Pulsford met. It was not long before they recruited bassist Dave Parsons, and later drummer Robin Goodridge, and started writing. Dave Parsons joined Bush shortly after leaving the band Transvision Vamp. Drummers such as Sacha Gervasi, Amir, and Spencer Cobrin had all filled in as Bush drummers before Robin Goodridge was made the permanent fit and thus completing the Bush lineup. more »
