Asylum Choir

The guitar is cheap but so is the wine
Let's get together in the hungry times
Read my fortune baby, roll my dice
I can't blame those Deans and Brandos
For doing everything twice
And I'll be singing the asylum choir
Meet me at the ritual pyre
It's my tears that burn
It's my heart that yearns
It's my voice that's stuck forever
On your telephone wire

Manic Napoleons they're all buttoned up
They drink their poison from a dead man's cup
Dear old Marylin she acts her part
She broke the thing so many times
That I can't find a heart
And I'll be singing the asylum choir
Meet me at the ritual pyre
It's my tears that burn
It's my heart that yearns
It's my voice that's stuck forever
On your telephone wire

Save me Jesus and my hamster too
You won't believe what all these pills can do
I've lost my choir now my nights turned cold
It's just the saddest story
That your blue man done told

And I'll be singing the asylum choir
Meet me at the ritual pyre
It's my tears that burn
It's my heart that yearns
It's my voice that's stuck forever
On your telephone wire

Watch them burn
