Riding high up above them
listening to the chain clinking
what was I thinking
climbing way up here

Everybody thinks I'm insane
so they bind and try to hide me
somewhere institutionally
but I always escape

I am damaged but I'm alright
the stars and my future are bright
someone turn on the light
so I can get this thing going right

Travelled all over the planet
and discovered it's spreading
the ******* virus we're dreading
with lightning fast speed

I want to write and post
much better than most
but it is a hard game
to start playing

I am damaged but I'm alright
the stars and my future are bright
someone turn on the light
so I can get this thing going right

I send up ideas all the time
tied tight to balloons
released from saloons
where I have been drinking

Mental voices in my head
are asleep and deep breathing
when they should be screaming
what do you think, hit the alarm or just go on without them

I am damaged but I'm alright
the stars and my future are bright
someone turn on the light
so I can get this thing going right

the flag whips in the wind
my mind is full of sin
about the girl across the street
I hope to meet

I have smiled and waved
but I hadn't shaved
so I didn't do it till
they drove off

I am damaged but I'm alright
the stars and my future are bright
someone turn on the light
so I can get this thing going right
