Asylum Songtext
von Supertramp

Jimmy Cream was keen,
His brain was always winning
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 thinking
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 nothing, no no nothing 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 feeling small, and 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 fooling 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 nothing, no no nothing 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, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad, mad
Not quite right
Oooooooo
