Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire, Andrew Bird - Tea & Thorazine lyrics

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
They'd let you keep your Etch-A-Sketch

Oh, 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
Oh, 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 to 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 could see
The world from inside an Etch-A-Sketch
