Sometimes I have people
Talking in my head
Some of them are heroes
And some of them are dead
Some of them are fantasy
And some of them are real
And they keep on talking in my head
Just imagine how I feel!

1. „Do you think that black is beautiful?
   Does this cape make me strong?"
   Says Batman to Karl Lagerfeld
   But he says: "It’s just to long!
   Have you tried a golden negligee
   And combine it with high heels?"
   Now I have that picture in my head
   Just imagine how that feels.

Sometimes I have people
Talking in my head
Some of them are heroes
And some of them are dead
Some of them are fantasy
And some of them are real
And they keep on talking in my head
Just imagine how I feel!

2. "I am glad that you all made it!" 
   Says the Captain to his crew
   He is bald and wears pyjamas
   And I think you know him, too
   And they all make their suggestions
   Where and how they baldly go
   And he picks the most ridiculous
   And says: "Make it so."

Sometimes I have people
Talking in my head
Some of them are heroes
And some of them are dead
Some of them are fantasy
And some of them are real
And they keep on talking in my head
Just imagine how I feel!

       But the worst crowd in my head
       Are the versions of myself
       Lazy-me wants to stay in bed
       Social-me wants to go out
       Music-me is glad that we are here
       And that we can sing this song
       It’s the inner team in my head
       And we have to get along

Sometimes I have people
Talking in my head
Some of them are mommies
And some of them are dads
Some of them are Peter Pan?!
And some of them are me
And they keep on talking in my head
Just imagine how I feel!

3. There’s an all night long discussion:
   Who deserves the Iron Throne?
   Who will be the king of Westeros:
   Captain Marvel – or is she gone?
   "I propose a man called Tony"
   Says a Greyjoy in the dark
   And they gave their votes to Iron Man
   Well at least, he is a Stark!

(Audience sings:)

Sometimes we are people
Talking in your head
Some of us are heroes
And us of them are dead
Some of us are fantasy
And some of us are real
And we keep on talking in your head
Just imagine how we feel

(Final Chorus:)

Sometimes I have people
Talking in my head
Some of them are heroes
And some of them are bad
Some of them are psychos
And some of them are worse
And if you have people in your head, too:
Just write another verse!

(Spoken:)
And if you send it to me, 
I will add it to the song!
