An asylum on New Year's Eve
Is not quite what you hoped for
But you got one and they stuck it on your record
For free
Confiscated your new guitar
Kept it safe behind the matron's bar
So you sat in the courtyard singing songs by Jeff Buckley

"Why am I in here?"
I ask the nurse
"Provocative clothing and your star-spangled words
Refusing medication, when we tried our very best to help you"

An asylum on New Year's Eve
Number 24 looks at me knowingly
Says: "Involuntary?" "Yes"
I say with pride
"Well take some good advice"
"Beyond these walls a thousand eyes
Are watching you for your sweet demise
Do what they say and be precise"
It's mystery, mystery, mystery, mystery
It's mystery, mystery, mystery, mystery

"Why am I in here?"
I ask the nurse
"Provocative clothing and your star-spangled words
Refusing medication, when we tried our very best to help you"

"Threatening the doctors, they were terrified
Through you said nothing they all saw it in your eyes
Refusing medication when they tried their very best to help you"
