An Inmates Lullaby

Lying down here in the afternoon

In my pretty cosy little cushioned room

I can talk to all my funny friends in here

I was told to rest why ... I am not quite clear

Eating flowers growing in the garden where there are tasty

tulips and I don't care

If I wet my trousers there was no time

I had nowhere else to go nowhere else I could find



Staring up at the great big white light

That shines everyday and shines all through the night

Hearing voices of the silly friends of mine

Always lock the door nurses waiting outside all the time



Hurt myself this morning, Doctor gave me warning sent me

to my room and told me that I'm bad



I heard someone saying I think he'll be staying maybe for a

long time, Why does everybody else think that I'm mad

I heard someone saying I think he'll be staying maybe for a

long time and that I'm mad



Lying down here in the afternoon

In my pretty cosy little cushioned room

I can talk to all my funny friends in here

I was told to rest why ... I am not quite clear
