Tommy thinks the crazies are back in my mind
Tommy says the children are clouding my head
When everything is wrong I dance inside my mind That's when

I come alive like a schizo running wild
That's when I come alive now let's go wild

We're kicking at your window and keeping you up And if you come to find me I'll color you red We dancing in the dungeon every Monday night

You want to see me crazy taking my meds and wipe away my noises you think I'm a mess (and get in my head) Take me six feet under While your roses died I came alive

You better leave the town I'm coming for you Call the Tommy up and tell him come help you out I'm getting wild on you you better go and call the law

    General Comment:I can't believe there's only one comment on this song! It's amazing. Anyhow, I realize she has a few songs with themes of mental illness, perhaps this one most blatantly, although I'm not totally sure how it fits in with the whole story/Androids. Any thoughts?
