lyrics

7:30 wake up call
8 o'clock and take vitals
9 o'clock is breakfast time
10 o'clock is med for mind
11 o'clock group therapy
12 o'clock they doctor me
12:30 nuthin' to do
but stare at 4 walls, bed and room
1 o'clock eat again
2 o'clock visiting friend
3 o'clodk she cannot stay
the others watch her walk away
4 o'clock take a nap
to wake at 5 and a bit relaxed
5 o'clock I make some art
I draw a picture comes from dark
6 o'clock supper time
7 o'clock repeat meds for mind
7:30 video
strange enough we're watching "Blow"
9 o'clock we grab some snacks
then to bed and we slowly crash
and mixed in the day there is nicotine time
cause quitting in the psychoward's
outta mind

Mother Mary comes to me
offering gifts of Wise chips
I just got in ain't hungry
so I turn her down
Joey C, talks alot
but he makes me laugh
last words lead to newer thoughts
sentence paragraphs

Carol is a darling girl
but she doesn't eat
I push her in her wheelchair
she thinks I'm really sweet
Sheik a la bleeka
la sheika la sheik
with arithmetic in her binders
reads her math problems
and asks me if she's smart

A cast of characters with visible sores
gettin little better in a difficult world
Mixed in the day there's nicotine time
Cause quitting in the psycho ward's
outta mind

Oooh Doctor Doctor Doc
Duh duh duh Doctor
Doctor Doctor Doc
Duh duh duh Doctor
Doctor Doctor Doc
Duh duh duh Doctor
Doctor Doctor Doc

Doctor Haddoc, who's name's like a fish
but doesn't spell it that way
Says I ain't touched, coming down to this
Therapy, 12 step, AA
I understand, I accept
Not drawn wrong yet incorrect
and mixed in the day
there's nicotine time
cause quitting in the psychoward's
outta mind...
