Had her fill of
disappointment
locked herself in
her apartment
Empty bottles
broken dishes
gave up all her
earthly wishes
she said,
“it’s terminal,
unbearable,
too terrible,
to realize that I’ve
lost my head,
I’ve gone round the bend.”
Tried to live life
among the living
found the people
so unforgiving
she said,
“it’s terminal,
unbearable,
too terrible
to comprehend, but I’ve
lost my head,
I’ve gone round the bend.
I’m living dead,
I’ve gone round the bend.”
"and you know,
it’s criminal,
lamentable
unbearable,
too terrible
to contemplate, but I’ve
lost my head,
I’ve gone round the bend.
I’m living dead,
I’ve gone round the bend.”
Oh, what she said,
“I’ve gone round the bend.
I’m out of my head,
I’ve gone round the bend.”
