INTRO: We wrote this for our grandfather, He suffered from schizophrenia... And I think mental illness is one of those things that's Very hard to talk about. It's an uncomfortable thing to talk about, But I think that it's something that should be... We should be open about it. It's really hard to watch somebody Slipping away... Especially recently our grandmother, Our mom's mom has been... Slipping away, kind of into dementia, And so we are gonna... Remember our grandparents when we sing this next one. It's about mentall illness, It's called "Mad As A Hatter"
VERSE 1: I know what time is, Time is a thief It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep And You'll never feel it It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said... It happens to everyone... Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine I try not to worry...
CHORUS: Please don't come for me I promise I'll be great Just let me keep what's mine. (let me keep what's mine) Please don't come for me If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time) Please don't come for me Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter
VERSE 2: It's hard to draw a clear distinction Who you are, who you were Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur And no-one can blame you Well they say the world is what you make it You think, speak and breathe And those rules still apply, stuck in a world of make believe You make the best with what you're given...
CHORUS: Please don't come for me I promise I'll be great Just let me keep what's mine. (let me keep what's mine) Please don't come for me If you must then just please wait and let me have some time (let me have some time) Please don't come for me Mind over matter (it don't matter) when you're as mad as a hatter...
OUTRO: Off with her head, off with her head... Paint the roses, paint the roses...
