Asylum

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain was always winnin' I can't keep tabs on mine, it's really quite a joke I see him down the road, I asked 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 just a game I play for fun, for fun [Verse 2] I told 'em, "Look!" I said, "I'm not the way you're thinkin' Just when I'm down, I'll be the 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" (Is it really?) [Chorus] Will he take a sailboat ride? Well, he is very likely to Will he feel good inside? Well, he ain't very likely to Oh, will he tell you he's alive? Yeah, he is always tryin' to Yeah, but nothin', no, no, nothin' Does he say, oh no [Post-Chorus 1] In the morning, when the day's begun "Hello, good morning, how are you?" And in the evening, or the noonday sun "Oh, what a lovely afternoon" Well, I've been living next to you [Verse 3] Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here Yeah, when they haunt me and they taunt me In my cage, oh, in my cage I mock 'em all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer Yeah, they're playin' dumb, but I'm just laughin' as they rage Don't arrange to have me s-sent to no asylum Well, it's only a game I'm playin' for fun Yeah, I've been tryin' to fool everyone (Oh, but they still taunt me) (Oh, is it really?)
