[Intro]
Wow!
Head injury
Head injury
Head injury

[Verse 1]
You got a kiss for me, it hits me hard
You got a fist for me, your love is so hard
My hand on my head, your words are like arrows
My hand on my head, there's permanent damage

[Chorus]
Hey, head injury
Head injury
Head injury

[Verse 2]
You got a kiss for me, it's sweet and frail
You got a fist for me, sure to impale
My hand on my head, your words are like arrows
My hand on my head, my mind's growing narrow

[Chorus]
Head, head, head, head
Head injury
Head injury

[Refrain ]
You got a kiss for me, it's sweet and frail
You got a fist for me, sure to impale
My hand on my head, your words are like arrows
My hand on my head, my mind's growing narrow

[Bridge]
You got a kiss for me, it hits me hard
You got a fist for me, your love is so hard
My hand on my head, your words are like arrows
My hand on my head, my mind's growing narrow

[Outro]
Head, head, head, head
Head, head, head, head
Head, head, head, head
Head, head, head, head
Head, head, head
Head injury

Soundgarden

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
