An asylum on new year's eve
Is not quite what you hoped for
But you got one and they stuck it on your record
For free
Confiscated your new guitar
Kept it safe behind the matron's bar
So you sat in the courtyard singing songs by Jeff Buckley
Why am I in here
I ask the nurse
Provocative clothing and your starspangled words
Refusing medication
when we tried our very best to help you
An asylum on new year's eve
Number 24 looks at me knowingly Says Involuntary Yes
I say with pride Well take some good advice
Beyond these walls a thousand eyes
Are watching you for your sweet demise
Do what they say and be precise
It's mystery mystery mystery mystery
It's mystery mystery mystery mystery
Why am I here
I ask the nurse
Provocative clothing and your star spangled words
Refusing medication
when we tried our very best to help you
Threatening the doctors they were terrified
Through you said nothing they all saw it in your eyes
Refusing medication
when they tried their very best to help you
