   How does "out doin' in my head" mean "going out of my mind"?   
      
   "Out" is the opposite of "in."   
      
   Can a person by "in" his head while "out" of his mind?   
      
   Exactly WHAT is he "doin'" in his head?   
      
   Or should we understand "out doin'" to mean "outdoing?"   
      
   Is he "outdoing" some crazy people by acting even crazier?   
      
   Could it be he's "Busy Doin' Nothing" in his head? Har har!   
      
   Is it some idiomatic expression indigenous to Hawthorne, California?
