Song lyrics

Send "A Place For My Head" ringtones to your cell

I watch how the moon sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me you do
Favors and then rapidly you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension 
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do 
And run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known that you'd
Wear out your welcome now you see
How quiet it is all alone I'm so
Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest I'm so
Sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away

You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away
You try to take the best of me, Go away

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
You'll see it's not meant to be
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head 

STAY..... A..... WAY..

I am so sick of the tension [STAY]
Sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this [A..]
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest [WAY]
I'm so sick of the tension sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
[STAY AWAY FROM ME]
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

19,813 posts	Actually both were wrong I think... I listened to the normal version of the song and the Live in Texas one. You can definately tell from the Live in Texas version that the second word is away. It's hard to understand but he's definately not saying "Shut Up Why" They have more lyrical talent than writing words that don't make sense... There's still going to be arguments over it probably but I'm pretty sure he's saying "Stay Away" if you listen to his very last line he says "Stay away from me" which obviously goes with it so that should be right.

23 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal there's real emotion in the partly whispered bit just before the screaming, and i love that bit, cos i end up just sitting there waiting in anticipation for the screaming. either in the headphones or from my mum telling me to turn it down cos she can hear it... also i love the start bit about the sun and the moon, i first noticed it when i was in one of my 'hey, what if i actually listen carefully to what they're saying?' moods, and i had to look it up to check if what i thought i was hearing was right.

65 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I love how it's just like 'Go away!' Actually that's what I like about most of the Hybrid Theory songs -- the blunt "commands."
