"Bye bye, baby" Cybil says as she walks out the door.
You can bet that Hollywood looks oh-so-good,
much better than it ever has before.
So my pets have left me in search of careers and richer soils,
heading off to pure-bread friends and happy ends
and anything to prove I'm disloyal.

It's not just that I'm schizo and scared,
it's not just that I'm so unprepared.
It's just you'd think I'd grow out of this, wouldn't you?

So take me to winter, as if it was discontent I'd see.
I'll live with the madmen there and pull my hair
'cause lunacy is everything I need.

It's not just that I'm schizo and scared,
it's not just that I'm so unprepared.
It's just you'd think I'd grow out of this, wouldn't you?

"Bye bye, baby" Cybil says as she walks out the door.
You can bet that Hollywood looks oh-so-good,
much better than it ever has before.

    the "pull my hair" could be talking about Trichotillomania

    General Comment:And i think it's 'selfish and scared,' not 'schitzo and scared'...though my above statement still applies.

    General Comment:I think it's a reference to the movie Sybill, actually...it's about a schizophrenic (or multiple personality disorder...i forgot) woman and how she learns to cope with it...
