Put me in the night Hide me out of sight Put me on an island Or in an asylum Put me a hole For my wretched soul Put me in the tallest tree So no one can see Fling me in the ocean So they haven't a notion Paint me camouflage So I'm just a mirage Put me on a boat That doesn't stay afloat Put me on a cliff Send a wind that is stiff Put me in a ravine Where I'll never be seen Put me on the moon So I won't come back soon Put me in the sky We know that I can't fly Put me in a car That takes me very far Put me in a shack Where I refuse to come back Put me in the rain So I might become sane
