by ELO, as performed by Fountains of Wayne



Midnight, on the water

I saw the ocean's daughter

Walking on a wave she came

Staring as she called my name.



And I can't get it out of my head

No, I can't get it out of my head

Now my whole world is gone for dead

'Cos I can't get it out of my head.



Breakdown, on the shoreline

Can't move, it's an ebb tide

Morning don't get here tonight

Searching for her silver light.



And I can't get it out of my head

No, I can't get it out of my head

Now my whole world is gone for dead

'Cos I can't get it out of my head, oh no



Day job, in the city

Robin Hood & William Tell & Ivanhoe & Lancelot

They don't envy me

Sitting as the sun goes down

In dreams the world keeps spinning round & around



And I can't get it out of my head

No, I can't get it out of my head

Now my whole world is gone for dead

'Cos I can't get it out of my head.



No, I can't get it out of my head

No, I can't get it out of my head

Now my whole world is gone for dead

'Cos I can't get it out of my head, oh no
