Hidden in the back seat of my head Some place I can't remember where I found it just by coincidence An' now I'm all hung up again Just like a soldier from the past Who won't be told it's over yet Refusing to put down his gun He's gotta hurt someone He'll keep on fighting 'til his war is won Waiting for the moment Keep on looking for a sign Extraordinary, trying to cease the war inside Hidden in the back seat of my head Some place I can't remember where I found it just by coincidence An' now I'm all hung up again
