Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Day after day
They send my friends away
To mansions cold and grey
To the [Eb]far side of town
Where [Cm]the thin men stalk the [Dm]streets
While [Eb]the sane stay underground
[D]

[Verse 2]
Day after day
They tell me I can go
They tell me I can blow
To the [Eb]far side of town
Where it's [Ab]point[Cm]less to be [Dm]high
'Cause it's [Eb]such a long way down
[D]

[Verse 3]
So I tell them that
I can fly, I will scream,
[C]I will b[Cm]reak my a[Eb]rm
[Cm]I will do me har[D]m
Here I stand, foot in hand,
[C]talk[Cm]ing to my [Eb]wall
I'm [Cm]not quite right at a[D]ll, am I[Dm]?

[Verse 4]
[Cm]Don't [Eb]set me free,
I'm as [F]heavy as can be
Just [Eb]my librium and me
And [F]my [D]E.S.T. makes three

[Verse 5]
'Cause I'd [G]rather stay here
With [D]all the madmen
Than [E]perish with [Em]the s[G]ad men
roaming [B]free[Bm][B]
And [G]I'd rather play here
With [D]all the madmen
For I'm [E]quite content [Em]they're [G]all as sane

[Interlude 1]
As me
[Am][F][D][Am][D][G][F][G]
[Em][Am][G][F]
(Where can the [Cm]horizon lie

[Verse 6]
When a [F]nation hides
Its organic minds
In [Ab]a cellar, dark [F]and grim
They must be very dim)
[Bb]Day

[Verse 7]
[D]after day
They take some brain away
Then turn my face around
To the [Eb]far side of town
And [Cm]tell me that it's [Dm]real
Then [Eb]ask me how I feel

[Interlude 2]
[D][Cm][Eb][Cm][D]

[Verse 8]
[D]Here I stand, foot in hand,
talking to [Cm]my wa[Eb]ll
I'm [Cm]not quite right at all
[D][Dm]

[Verse 9]
[Eb]Don't set me free,
I'm as [F]helpless as can be
[Eb]My libido's split on me
Gimme some [D]good 'ole lobotomy

[Verse 10]
'Cause I'd [G]rather stay here
With [D]all the madmen
Than [Em]perish with the [G]sad men
Roaming [Bm]free[B]
And [G]I'd rather play here
With [D]all the madmen
For I'm [Em]quite content
They're [G]all as sane as me
[Am][D]

[Verse 11]
[G]
