Asylum - Live At Pavillon de Paris/1979

Lyrics for Asylum - Live At Pavillon de Paris/1979

Jimmy Cream was keen, his brain was always winnin', I can't keep tabs on mine – it's really quite a joke. I see him down the road, I ask if he'd be willing To lend me 15p – I'm dying for a smoke. Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum, I'm just as sane as anyone, It's just a game I play for fun – for fun. I told em – look! – I said I'm not the way you're thinkin', Just when I'm down I'll be the clown, I'll play the fool. Please don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum I'm just as sane as anyone It's just a game I play for fun – for fun. Will he take a sailboat ride? He is very likely to, Will he feel good inside? He ain't very likely to, Will he tell you he's alive? He is always trying to, But nothin', no nothin' does he say In the morning when the days begun – "Hello, Good morning, how are you?" And in the evening or the noonday sun – "What a lovely afternoon!" Well I've been living next to you. Bluesy Monday is the one day that they come here, When they haunt me and they taunt me in my cage. I mock them all, they're feelin' small, they got no answer They're playin' dumb but I'm just laughing as they rage Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum It's only a game I play for fun I've been foolin' everyone – everyone. Will he take a sailboat ride? He is very likely to Will he feel good inside? He ain't ever likely to Will he tell you he's alive? He is always trying to But nothin', no nothin' does he ever say In the morning when the day's begun – "Do you think it looks like rain?" And in the evening or the noonday sun – "You know I nearly missed my train" Well I've been living next to you my friend But what kind of friend are you? Is it the beginning or the sorry end? Will I ever see it through? I've never been insane Oh what's the game? I believe I'm dying... He's mad, mad, mad... Not quite right... Oooooooo...
