Album: Love It To Death (1971)

Ballad Of Dwight Fry

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
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my only 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 playthings
Even, even the ones I stole
See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane
I wanna get outta here
I wanna get outta here
I, I've gotta, I've gotta get outta here
I, I gotta get out of here
I gotta get out of here...
Ya gotta let me out of here
Let me outta here...
I gotta get outta here...
See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my only mind explode
Blow 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
See my lonely life unfold
I didn't wanna be
I see it every day
Leave me alone I didn't wanna be
Don't touch me
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane
