Ballad of Dwight Fry
[Little girl]
Mommy where's daddy?
He's been gone for so long.
Do you think he'll ever come home?
Mommy where's daddy?
He's been gone for so long.
Do you think he'll ever come home?
I was gone for fourteen days
I coulda been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
Lyin' on the floor
I was gone for all those days
But I, was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people
In the danger zone
I coulda been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
Lyin' on the floor
I was gone for all those days
But I, was not all alone
I made friends with a lot of people
In the danger zone
[Chorus]
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
Since I've gone away
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
Since I've gone away
I think I lost some weight there
And I, I'm sure I need some rest
Sleepin' don't come very easy
In a straight white vest
Should like to see that little children
She's only four years old.. old
I'd give her back all of her play things
Even, even the ones I stole
And I, I'm sure I need some rest
Sleepin' don't come very easy
In a straight white vest
Should like to see that little children
She's only four years old.. old
I'd give her back all of her play things
Even, even the ones I stole
[Chorus]
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane
I wanna get out of here
I wanna get out of here
I, I've gotta, I've gotta get out of here
I, I gotta get out of here
I, I gotta get out of here
I, Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere
I gotta get out of here
Ya gotta let me out of here
Letmeoutahere Igottagetoutahere Letmeoutahere
Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere
I wanna get out of here
I, I've gotta, I've gotta get out of here
I, I gotta get out of here
I, I gotta get out of here
I, Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere
I gotta get out of here
Ya gotta let me out of here
Letmeoutahere Igottagetoutahere Letmeoutahere
Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere Igottagetoutahere
[Chorus]
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
Blown up in my face
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
Blown up in my face
I grabbed my hat and I got my coat
and I, I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn't breathe
Said to myself this is very strange
I'm glad it wasn't me
But now I hear those sirens callin'
and so I am not free
I didn't wanna be
I didn't wanna be
I didn't wanna be
and I, I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn't breathe
Said to myself this is very strange
I'm glad it wasn't me
But now I hear those sirens callin'
and so I am not free
I didn't wanna be
I didn't wanna be
I didn't wanna be
I didn't wanna be
See my lonely life unfold
(I didn't wanna be
LeaveMeAloneIDidn'tWannaBe
DON'T TOUCH ME!!!)
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone Insane....
See my lonely life unfold
(I didn't wanna be
LeaveMeAloneIDidn'tWannaBe
DON'T TOUCH ME!!!)
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone Insane....
