Well i took a walk to an old lagoon
and wrote a poem underneath a crescent mmon
about a lovely girl that i once knew
whose lonely pain wasn't understood
don't get me wrong she had tons of friends
like siamese jack and cross-eyed ed
only problem was they were all pretend
soley exisiting insider her head
They said this girl has got to change
she doesn't look or act the same
we're gonna have to fix her brain
to what we can to make her tame
and I think it was a Saturday
either early june or middle may
I can still clearly hear her say
don't take me away
She was strong but what can you do
when theres 6 of them and one of you
and it was 4 oclock in the afternoon
when they took her into that little room
I heard one say this'll be a cinch
if you promise not to move an inch
please don't-- and please don't flinch
it'll only be a little pinch
she cried out loud "what have I done"
now that lonely girl was a friend of mine
they say I made her up in my mind
to forget lifes problems for a little while
to help me cope and make me smile
and they treat me nice inside this place
they say when I'm better they
