An Asylum on New Year's Eve

[00:00.04] As asylum on new year's eve
[00:15.80] Is not quite what you hoped for
[00:20.04] But you got one and they stuck it on your record
[00:22.82] For free
[00:27.37] Confiscated your new guitar
[00:30.51] Kept it safe behind the matron's bar
[00:34.53] So you sat in the courtyard singing songs by
[00:38.73] Jeff Buckley
[00:41.63] "Why am I here?" I ask the nurse
[00:45.31] "Provocative clothing and your star-spangled words
[00:48.54] Refusing medication, when we tried our very best to help you"
[00:56.66]
[01:00.18] As asylum on new year's eve
[01:03.10] Number 24 looks at me knowingly
[01:07.28] Says "Involuntary?" "Yes" I say with pride
[01:10.48] "Well take some good advice"
[01:14.86] "Beyond these walls a thousand eyes
[01:19.44] Are watching you for your sweet demise
[01:22.19] Do what they say and be precise"
[01:28.44] It's a mystery, mystery, mystery, mystery
[01:35.71] It's a mystery, mystery, mystery, mystery
[01:43.59] "Why am I here?" I ask the nurse
[01:47.15] "Provocative clothing and your star-spangled words
[01:50.42] Refusing medication, when we tried our very best to help you"
[01:58.02] "Threatening the doctors, they were terrified
[02:01.74] Though you said nothing they all saw it in your eyes
[02:04.98] Refusing medication when they tried their very best to help you"
[02:10.85]
