Inside the walls I've made
To keep out all who reach for me
I might have lost my way
And I can't come out again
Don't come around here anymore
You may infect yourself
Don't ever cross this line
You could see monsters
in your mind
There just like me
<Interlude>
Have I erased all sense of touch
I don't feel anything
Sometimes they say I need
Sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need
New parts for my brain
<Interlude>
Most dreams
they're black and white
But I must color mine
Each day's another end
Less night of screaming
Shouting at the outside
Someone let me in
Set me free now no one can
Faces at the window
Stop the water, bags of sand
Institutional man
<Interlude>
Sometimes they say I need
Sometimes I think I need
Sometimes I know I need
New parts for my brain
<Interlude>
Set me free now no one can
Faces at the window
Lock the cages, tie my hands
Institutional, institutional man
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars
<Intelrude>
So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him
last Saturday
And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there! A man born
