Lyrics
“Mommy, where’s daddy?
He’s been gone for so long
do you think he’ll ever come home?”
I was gone for fourteen days
I could’ve been gone for more
held up in the intensive care ward
lying’ on the floor
I was gone for all those days
I was not alone
I made friends with a lot of people
in the danger zone
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my only mind explode
Since I’ve gone away
I think I lost some weight there
I’m sure I need some rest
but sleeping don’t come very easy
in a straight white vest
sure like to see that little children
She’s only four years old
I’d give her back all of her playthings
even the ones I stole
See my lonely life unfold
I see it every day
See my lonely mind explode
When I’ve gone insane
I grabbed my hat and I got my coat
I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn’t breathe
I said to myself this is very strange
I’m glad it wasn’t me
But now I hear those sirens calling’
I am not free
(I didn’t wanna be) free
(I didn’t wanna be) free
See my lonely life unfold
See my lonely mind explode
When I’ve gone to space
