Comments & Quotes
   
Weiland, looking healthier than he has in ages, wraps his angular frame around the microphone stand and leads the band through "Headspace," a song that seems to combine the freight- train velocity of GN'R's "Paradise City' with the effervescent vocal hooks of STP's "Big Bang Baby'- a radio hit in a perfect world, and maybe this one as well. (Dan Epstein, Guitar World Magazine, November 2003)
   
   
Lyrics
   

Headspace

Me
I'm a man
Who is trudging
Best I can
Through a minefield
Built to blast
Can I make it
Will I last

Free my mind, levitate
Don't let any of those fuckers in my headspace

Please
Let me be
No more questions
No more needs
You're the cancer
You're the leech
Sent to bleed me
Of disease

Free my mind, levitate
Don't let any of those fuckers in my headspace
Let me go my own way
Burn the rest of them that try to keep me enchained

Living taking chances
Isn't all that it's meant to be
Dying with your face on
A t-shirt isn't all that original

Me
I'm the man
Will I make it
Will I last

Clean version of 'Contraband' has 'fuckers' replaced with 'others'.
