The Ballad of Dwight Fry [Live in Detroit 1986]

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 coulda been gone for more
Held up in the intensive care ward
Lyin' on the floor
I was gone for all those days
But I, was not all 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 lonely mind explode
Since I've gone away

I think I lost some weight there
And I, I'm sure I need some rest
Sleeping don't come very easy
In a straight white vest
Should like to see that little children
She's only four years old, old
I'd give her back all of her play things
Even, even the ones I stole

See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane

I, I want to get out of here
I, I want to get out of here
I, I've gotta, I've gotta get out of here
I, I gotta get out of here
I, I gotta get out of here
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get out of here
Ya gotta let me out of here
Let me outta here
I gotta get out of here
Let me outta here
I gotta get out of here
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta here
I gotta get outta here

See my lonely life unfold
I see it everyday
See my lonely mind explode
Blown up in my face

I grabbed my hat and I got my coat
Then I, I ran into the street
I saw a man that was choking there
I guess he couldn't breathe
Said to myself this is very strange
I'm glad it wasn't me
But now I hear those sirens callin'
And so I am not free
I didn't want to be
I didn't want to be
I didn't want to be

See my lonely life unfold
(Leave me alone)
(I didn't want to be)
(Don't touch me)
See my lonely mind explode
When I've gone insane
