Asylum

Jimmy Cream was keen his brain was always winnin'

I can't keep tabs on mine it's really quite a joke

I see him down the road I ask if he'd be willing

To lend me 15p I'm dying for a smoke

Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum

I'm just as sane as anyone

It's just a game I play for fun for fun

I told 'em look I said I'm not the way you're thinkin'

Just when I'm down I'll be the clown I'll play the fool

Please don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum

I'm just as sane as anyone

It's just a game I play for fun for fun

Is it really

Will he take a sailboat ride

Well he is very likely to

Will he feel good inside

Well he ain't very likely to

Will he tell you he's alive

Yeah he is always trying to

Yeah but nothin' no no nothin' does he say

In the morning when the days begun

Hello Good morning how are you

And in the evening or the noonday sun

Oh what a lovely afternoon

Well I've been living next to you

Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here

Yeah when they haunt me and they taunt me in my cage

Oh in my cage

I mock 'em all they're feelin' small they got no answer

Yeah they're playin' dumb but I'm just laughing as they rage

Don't arrange to have me s-sent to no asylum

Well it's only a game I'm playin' for fun

Yeah I've been tryin' to fool everyone

Oh but they still taunt me

Oh is it really

No that's too heavy

Will he take a sailboat ride

Well he is very likely to

Will he feel good inside

He ain't ever likely to

Will he tell you he's alive

He is always trying to

But nothin' no no nothin' does he ever say

In the morning when the day's begun

Do you think it looks like rain

And in the evening or the noonday sun

You know I nearly missed my train

Well I've been living next to you my friend

But what kind of friend are you

Is it the beginning or the sorry end

Will I ever see it through

Now I've never been insane

Oh what's the game

I believe I'm dying

He's mad mad mad

Not quite right

Not quite right

Oooooooo
