Well, I can tell by the way you take your infusion
You've spent some time in a mental institution
What a dream, life would seem if only
They let you keep your etch-a-sketch

Eh, you laugh like a banshee, gesticulate your delirium
They treat you like a corpse, keep you full of candy lithium
What a dream life would seem if only you could see
The world from inside an etch-a-sketch

I can tell by the way you reach your conclusions
You're the director of a mental institution
What a dream, life would seem if only
It hadn't been for Doctor B

Animate yourself an alternate reality
Consummate a self pleasing artificiality
You can have yourself a tea

I can tell by the way you take your infusion
You've spent some time in a mental institution
Oh, what a dream life would seem if only you could see
The world from inside an etch-a-sketch
