[Verse 1]
Desdemona
Everything she says is a rollercoaster of slogans
She can't help knowing where she’s going
[Pre-Chorus]
High voltage rock n roller
Nobody can control her
And when you start to bore her
She gets lost
She'll take off all your makeup

[Chorus]

Dancing to no sound
Blocking it all out
What's it like in your head?
Dancing to no sound
Blocking it all out

[Verse 2]
She comes closer
Smacks the floor with her patent leather

She's taller than all the boys who linger
[Pre-Chorus]
High voltage rock n roller
Nobody can control her
And when you start to bore her
She gets lost
She'll take off all your makeup
Leave you before you wake up
And then you'll start to wonder
[Chorus]
What's it like in your head?
Dancing to no sound
Blocking it all out
What's it like in your head?
Dancing to no sound
Blocking it all out
Oh, I wanna know
[Bridge]
What's it like in your head?
In your head
In your head
In your head
What’s it like in your head?
In your head
In your head
In your head
What’s it like in your head?
In your head
In your head
In your head
What's it like in your head?
In your head
In your head
In your head
What’s it like in your head?
What's it like in your head?
Head
[Outro]
What's it like in your head?
Dancing to no sound
Blocking it all out
What's it like in your head?
Dancing to no sound
Blocking it all out
Oh, I wanna know
