Asylum lyrics

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 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 a 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 a 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.

Will he take a sailboat ride?

He is very likely to,

Will he feel good inside?

He ain't very likely to,

Will he tell you he's alive?

He is always trying to, yeah,

But nothing, no-no, nothing, does he say

In the morning when the day's begun:

- 'Hello Good morning, how are you?'

And in the evening or the noonday sun:

- 'What a lovely afternoon!'

Well, I've been living next to you.

Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here,

When they haunt me and they taunt me in my cage.

I mock them all, they're feeling small, they got no answer,

They're playing 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.

I've been trying to fool everyone, everyone.

Will he take a sailboat ride?

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, yeah,

But nothing, no-no, nothing 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?

I've never been insane,

Oh, what's the game?

I believe I'm dying.

He's mad, mad, mad...

Not quite right...
