In a Nuthouse 03:44

Dinner at six. Lights out at ten. Another day done then we begin again. We’re watching TV and playing with cards My life, I’d say, is not very hard I came here as a child. I was special, they said I heard my mother say I’d be better off dead. My father said he had probable cause As far as being dead he said I already was. I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse They say I’m the good one. They treat me all right Because most of the time I just stay out of sight. I’ve have lots of friends. I’m never alone. This is the only life that I’ve ever known. I stole me a key, so I sneak all around Like a ghost down the halls not making a sound Opening doors, at night I do peep. I like to watch others whey they are asleep. I wonder about all those people I see as I look out through the bars Daylight, sunshine, and those things … that they call cars. I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse And now they say I’ll be released soon. For me, they say this place, just doesn’t have room. They’re letting me go. They say it is true. Hey Mommy, hey Daddy, I’ll come and see you! I wonder about all those people I see as I look out through the bars Daylight, sunshine, and those things … that they call cars. I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse I’m in a nuthouse My home’s a nuthouse

In My Mind 03:00
lyrics

I think you could like me if you just got to know me. To me, to me you are a celebrity. 8I feel you close by though I know it’s imaginary Just a little longer and maybe it can be. I read a little then I think I’ll call you up. But when I push the buttons, well, the last one makes me stop. I wonder will I ever have you all the time? For now you’ll just be in my mind I work and I play; the time it just passes by Sometime I laugh and too sometimes I cry I wonder how hard, how hard is it to try? I read a little and I think I’ll call you up. But when I push the buttons, well, the last one makes me stop. I wonder if I’ll ever have you all the time? For now you’ll just be in my mind I Wonder wonder will this ever change? Life is easy when it is the same. Sometimes I wonder if I ever will believe. Will the time come that you’ll forget me? I read a little then I think I’ll call you up. But when I push the buttons, well, the last one makes me stop. I wonder will I ever have you all the time? For now you’ll just be in my mind For now you’ll just be in my mind

Run Around Hound 06:09
lyrics

She’s a shakin’ crazy run around hound Been seen all over the town Up down turn around lost and found But she never goes near the pound. She’s my good ol’ dog, she’s never alone And she always finds her way home. And then we play around Before she heads back out on the town Well I change her water and I feed her well And I always clean up her mess – And when she’s gone, she’s gone, for days at a time I still know she loves me best She’s my good ol’ dog, she’s never alone And she always finds her way home. And then we play around Before she heads back out on the town solo She’s my good ol’ dog, she’s never alone And she always finds her way home And then we play around Before she heads back out on the town She’s a shakin’ crazy run around hound Been seen all over the town –– Up down turn around lost and found But she never goes near the pound – She’s my good ol’ dog, she’s never alone And she always finds her way home And then we play around Before she heads back out on the town And then we play around Before she heads back out on the town Well I change her water and I feed her well And I always clean up her mess – And when she’s gone, she’s gone, for days at a time I still know she loves me best She’s my good ol’ dog, she’s never alone And she always finds her way home And then we play around Before she heads back out on the town And then we play around Before she heads back out on the town solo

Memories that Remain 04:05
lyrics

Clouds above, gently passing Kids at play, running, laughing Clear creek lazily drifts by. Green grass, blue blue sky. The things that take away Are the memories that remain of you. Afternoon, light and easy Air is cool, gently breezy Clear creek lazily drifts by. Green grass, blue blue sky. I still miss you so. But I wish I’d never known you You. You. I wish I’d never known you. You. You. My life was a wreck when I was with you. You. You. My greatest accomplishment was when I ran from You. You. You. Clouds above, gently passing Kids at play, running, laughing Little bubbles lazily drift by Green grass, blue blue sky The things that take away Are the memories that remain of you. Clear creek lazily drifts by Green grass, blue blue sky The things that take away Are the memories that remain (I’ll call you)
