At the asylum!
Chillin' in my padded cell
Cushioned when I just fell
Rubbing alcohol smell
Medicated very well

Crackpot!
The only two drugs
That they haven't given me
To take away the things I see
Goblins are biting me!

And unicorns!
Just stole my sister's purse
Carjacking a pink Hurst
Schizophrenia's a curse
Let me sing another verse

At the asylum!
People in the white coats

Giving me the right dose
So I don't view as a tease
Suicidal tendencies
Asylum!
Snap back to reality!
Where nothing is biting me.
Restrictive as it might be
Padded walls set me free!

I remember!
When I was a lot like you.
Doing all the things you do.
Nice house and garage for two
For me and my 'baby-boo'

Reality!
Crashed down all around me.
Started to confound me.
Loss and sad irony
Also starts to pound me

That's when I snap!
And I went to another place.
Where I have another face
Free from the human race
Where I can be my own ace.

At the asylum!
No one is judging me.
Based on prestige or money.
Take my pills and be polite.
Staring at the walls white
Asylum!
Wake up for another day
That's success in its own way.
No more insects in my hair
In my nose or derrire.

They told me that shortly before I came here
That I was yelling 'bout monsters that you should fear
I was running through Wal-Mart without my pants
Waving 'round a plunger as I did my dance
Taped a rubber duck to my head for fun
As the Wal-Mart greeter dialed 9-1-1.
I was trying to fight off the ninja sheep
When store security put me to sleep
And I woke up here in my cushioned pad.
So drugged up, I was feeling rad
My toes were not eating my feet
And there was a cease-fire with the ninja sheep.
This is where I want to stay
That's why I cut this track, cuz I wanna say

At the asylum!
Red pills make ya nice and calm
No great need to feel alarm
No visits from my mom
This asylum is the bomb!
Asylum!
Straight jacket keeps me safe
Better than an A.K.
Feel good, what can I say?
I could stay here all day
