Bellevue
I’ve been here 5 days
I got 5 stitches across my face
this ain’t where I choose to be
but they say that ain’t up to me
I ain’t got much to complain
with my three meals and regular cigarette breaks
I tell ‘em what I’m supposed to say
and maybe tomorrow I can leave
Welcome to Bellevue, didn’t they tell you?
You’re not going anywhere.
Welcome to Bellevue, didn’t they tell you?
You’re not getting out of here.
I’m one day shy of 2 weeks
and this is starting to get to me
I’m not a person I’m a case
and I got shoes but no shoelace
alternating sessions
of pills and electricity
I had my first visitor yesterday
and I didn’t want them to leave
Welcome to Bellevue, didn’t they tell you?
You’re not going anywhere.
Welcome to Bellevue, didn’t they tell you?
You’re not getting out of here.
and that guy over there’s been here 5 years
but that ain’t gonna be me, I swear
it’s good to talk about your problemsit’s good to talk
I’m afraid once I get started they’ll never shut me up
now these walls are paper thin
and they let their secrets slip
whatever madness sleeps next door tonite
will be in my bed the next
and 5 stitches turned into 10
and I don’t know how long it’s been
and I had my last visitor yesterday
i don’t know when I’ll see anyone again
Welcome to Bellevue, didn’t they tell you?
You’re not going anywhere.
Welcome to Bellevue, didn’t they tell you?
Welcome to Bellevue, didn’t they tell you?
You’re not getting out of here. You’re not getting out of here.
