This morning I was in a mood
Eggs were sunny side down
Nurse thought I should be subdued
Liquid cosh in the **** now
I love the drugs
Drugs make me fall in love
Dream of you and all those hugs
Helps me get by in this place called Bedlam.
I’m always on the edge of losing my mind
Yes I teeter in and out of sanity
Nice little dip into hysteria
Then I scurry back into reality.
This afternoon I was feeling tense
High noon on the chaise longue
Shrink just started to make sense
Didn’t take him long
I thought I’m cured
He said I acted disorderly
Then called in the orderly
Reminded me of where I belong in Bedlam.
I’m always on the edge of losing my mind
Yes I teeter in and out of sanity
Nice little dip into hysteria
Then I scurry back into reality.
This evening I was full of glee
After dinner was medication time
Doctor called for a sample of my ***
But I didn’t give him mine
I did a swap
Swapped it with a different vial
Passed the trial with style
Things I do to get through here in Bedlam.
Will you help me to abscond?
Ése I’m loco please respond
The last time that I felt calm
Was genuinely when I held you in my arms.
I’m always on the edge of losing my mind
Yes I teeter in and out of sanity
Nice little dip into hysteria
Then I scurry back into reality.
Tonight in Bedlam in a padded cell
Wrestling with my straight jacket
I am nothing but my shattered self
Isn’t love such a strange habit?
You’ll hurt yourself
Hurt yourself so blindly
Smile back benignly
In this little place called Bedlam.
