It's a song about a head floating around. The lyrics include:

You ambushed / As I stood defenceless / and as I hold my wine glass / nodding, smiling / your monologue receptacle / my head, detaches / and floats right out the window...

I'm pretty sure it's a theatre song but I'm not positive it is.

Jeez, I tried looking around but I couldn't find this song anywhere. Where did you hear it?

I'm afraid to google the line about the head detaching

It was a cabaret performance. It sounds so familiar I feel like i've listened to it before, plus the lyric is really weird so I am curious who wrote it.

The head continued to travel like to coney island or something too but i cant remember any more.

I fear I may never find out its source.

Maybe contact whoever performed it at that cabaret?
