Asylum

Jimmy Cream was keen

His brain was always winning

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 15 P

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 thinking

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

Oh, will he take a sailboat ride?

Well, he is very likely to

Oh, will he feel good inside?

Well, he ain't very likely to

Oh, will he tell you he's alive?

He said he is always tryin' to

But nothing, no, no, nothing does he say

Oh, no, in the morning when the day 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

I mock them all

They're feeling small, yeah, they got no answer

Yeah, they're playin' dumb

But I'm just laughing as they rage

Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum

Well, it's only a game I play for fun

Yeah, I've been fooling 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?

Yeah, he ain't ever likely to

Oh, will he tell you he's alive?

Well, he is always tryin' to

But nothin'

No, no, nothing does he ever say

Yeah, in the morning when the day 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?

Oh, 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

Ah

He's mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad

Not quite right

(Not quite right)

Whoo
