patient #248 - mermaid legs lyrics

[verse 1]
on the way to the hospital, and waiting there for days
how do you want to go? there’s a million different ways
wrap yourself in blankets, now and swallow all your pills
one day you’ll get out of here, and you’ll jot down your will

[chorus 1]
but in the meantime, you will live your sanitary life
eat and cut your plastic meals with a plastic knife
and they’ll take it away, take it away, take me away from here
the scars they fade, they fade away, with the ink blots that they smear
across the page that’s torn away, like a smile cut ear to ear
look at me, i’m smiling now!
don’t you know a fake smile when you see one?

[verse 2]
and all the patients are your friends, who’ve met their bitter end
and you’ve forgotten all your friends from home, you’ve disappeared
you’re all drugged up and stable now, your mind it has been cleared
ignoring all the phone calls in, you never want to leave

[chorus 2]
so in the meantime you will live an unprivileged sh-ll
but you don’t care, it’s loads of fun, in this wonderful white cell
so just take it away, take it away, take me outside to play
i like to play, with all my friends, inside this barbed wire cage
on the court i can unleash, any bottled up rage
all my sadness fades away, with this composition page
look at me, i’m smiling now!
don’t you know a vacant smile when you see one?

[outro]
i was dead inside, when i arrived, but now i’m fine
i feel so alive, i feel so carefree
like a b-tterfly, it’s ecstasy
thank you for the lobotomy
