lyrics

Day after day, they send my friends away, to mansions cold and grey,
to the far side of town, where the thin men stalk the streets,
while the sane stay underground.

Day after day, they tell me i can go,they tell me i can blow,
to the far side of town, where it's pointless to be high,
'cause it's such a long way down.

So i tell them that,
I can fly, i will scream, i will break my arm, I will do me harm,
here i stand, foot in hand, talking to my wall, I'm not quite right at all...am i?

Don't set me free, i'm as heavy as can be
just my librium and me
and my e.s.p. makes three

'cause i'd rather stay here, with all the madmen
than perish with the sadmen roaming free
and i'd rather play here, with all the madmen
for i'm quite content they're all as sane as me?

Day after day, they take some brain away, then turn my face around
to the far side of town, and tell me that it's real
then ask me how i feel?

don't set me free, i'm as helpless as can be
my libido's split on me
gimme some good 'ole lobotomy.
