An Asylum on New Year's Eve

歌詞

As asylum on new year's eve Is not quite what you hoped for But you got one and they stuck it on your record For free Confiscated your new guitar Kept it safe behind the matron's bar So you sat in the courtyard singing songs by Jeff Buckley "Why am I here?" I ask the nurse "Provocative clothing and your star-spangled words Refusing medication, when we tried our very best to help you" As asylum on new year's eve Number 24 looks at me knowingly Says "Involuntary?" "Yes" I say with pride "Well take some good advice" "Beyond these walls a thousand eyes Are watching you for your sweet demise Do what they say and be precise" It's a mystery, mystery, mystery, mystery It's a mystery, mystery, mystery, mystery "Why am I here?" I ask the nurse "Provocative clothing and your star-spangled words Refusing medication, when we tried our very best to help you" "Threatening the doctors, they were terrified Though you said nothing they all saw it in your eyes Refusing medication when they tried their very best to help you"
