Can’t Get It Out of My Head Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave's chicane
Staring as she called my name
[Chorus]
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head
[Verse 2]
Breakdown on the shoreline
Can't move, it's an ebb tide
Morning don't get here tonight
Searching for her silver light
[Chorus]
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no
[Verse 1]
Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter
Walking on a wave's chicane
Staring as she called my name
[Chorus]
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head
[Verse 2]
Breakdown on the shoreline
Can't move, it's an ebb tide
Morning don't get here tonight
Searching for her silver light
[Chorus]
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell, Ivanhoe and Lancelot
They don't envy me, yeah
Sitting 'til the sun goes down
In dreams, the world keeps going
'Round and 'round
[Chorus]
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no
[Chorus]
Oh, I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no, no, no
[Verse 3]
Bank job in the city
Robin Hood and William Tell, Ivanhoe and Lancelot
They don't envy me, yeah
Sitting 'til the sun goes down
In dreams, the world keeps going
'Round and 'round
[Chorus]
And I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no
[Chorus]
Oh, I can't get it out of my head
No, I can't get it out of my head
Now my old world is gone for dead
'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no, no, no
About
Genius Annotation
The second track on their 4th album – Eldorado, it was ELO’s first top 10 hit in the USA.
The album was a concept album/rock opera that follows “the Dreamer”, the main character of the album; a Walter Mitty-esque figure escapes the boredom of his real life by taking a journey through a dreamland of his creation. “Can’t Get It Out of My Head” is the celebration of this new found freedom.
The album cover featured a scene from the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz – Dorothy’s dream.
