asylum

That's when we uncover, 'cover, 'cover

My asylum, my asylum is in your arms

When the world gives heavy burdens, I can bear a thousand tons

You wouldn't last an hour

In the asylum where they raised me

So all you kids can sneak into my house, with all the cobwebs

And when I leave this island

I'll book myself into a soul asylum

'Cause I can feel the warnin' signs

I've had a chance to be insane

Asylum from the falling rain

I've had a chance to break

Songbird calling across the water

Inside my silent asylum

♪

(He's not cherishin' it), ayy, take his life

Straitjacket music, I belong in asylum

Felonies and felonies, this what they keep on sellin' me (yeah, yeah)

Now I'm out of my mind

Rocking chair, mental asylum

Everyone dressed in white

♪

There ain't no asylum here

King Solomon, he never lived 'round here

It's never one and done, it's only just begun

And now the inmates are runnin' the asylum

Runnin' the asylum

Burn through all your gasoline

Asylum overtime, nevermind

You've reached the end of the line

I will wade in the fire

To explain your asylum

Idle times, analyzing

♪

Seeking political asylum, is not an easy thing down here

♪

We met as soul mates on Parris Island

We left as inmates from an asylum

And we were sharp as sharp as knives

Wake it up to see through you

We'll all disappear in the same asylum as before

Make it up you always do

♪

Can we ever hope to seek asylum

Give me steel, give me steel, give me pulsars unreal

He'll build a glass asylum

With just a hint of mayhem

Asylums with doors open wide

Where people had paid to see inside

We're all included on the list

The lunatics have taken over the asylum

The lunatics have taken over the asylum

In the trunk of your '68 Olds

Millie our world's an asylum

And our minds like you say ain't that straight

We're all included on the list

The lunatics have taken over the asylum

The lunatics have taken over the asylum

Don't mind our staring but

We're surprised you're not in - in a far-gone asylum

We're surprised you didn't crack up

Our love's in asylum

Where you and I go

And strengthen the things that remain?

You got innocent men in jail, insane asylums are filled

You got unrighteous doctors

Wonder why I'm here now

In asylum

Don't you see?

Let a motherfucker live right now

Break it down like a mental state in an asylum

Talk about timing, fuck about rhyming

Jumped the barrier at Orly Airport

Claimed political asylum there

Took all the KGB boys by surprise

♪

Scratch pictures on asylum walls

Broken nails and matchsticks

Grant me one last wish

Sweet soul asylum, yeah

An everlasting kiss

And I'm hoping it might be you

Give me asylum and I'll keep the faith

Keep me in coffee and so safe

Dont ya rile 'em

Going asylum

Dont ya rile 'em

[Chorus:]

Seek asylum from the terror

Reaching out for what it's worth

The wind in my soul is never still

This weathered asylum

Just can't keep out the chill

They've filled up the blood banks and emptied the beds

At the hospital and he asylum

I saw a man build a shelter in his garden today
