I Lost My Mind

I don't mind when I lose my mind
 Yeah, I lost my mind, seven eight or nine times
 And you wouldn't mind if you lost your mind
 Having lost your mind already eight or nine times
 I don't mind, no it feels just fine
 No it feels just fine when I lose my mind
 And it looks so nice when it's flying right by
 Now I don't mind when I lose my mind
 My whole life I've been losing my mind
 It was 1989 when I lost my mind
 For the very first time I went down in the mine
 Going down in the mine I didn't know what I'd find
 But whatever I'd find, say that it was mine
 And I brought a little bird, it was short lived
 And I lost my mind when the little bird died
 Because as I stopped to cry for the little bird's life
 For the moment my mind was out of my sight
 And I turned back around to a terrible surprise
 I had lost my mind for the very first time
 I lost my mind for the very first time
 Since I was a child, they tried to let me slide
 Then I lost it twice, they said it was a crime
 And my hands were tied, I was read my rights
 It was a real short list written in little, tiny type
 And they built their perfect prison and locked me inside
 I cried, "this is so wrong," they said "It's alright"
 And then a plate full of pills, I swallowed them dry
 I was displayed in a cage, they claimed, in the name of science
 And they probed, prodded, realigned my spine
 'Til they said I could walk in a straight enough line
 And then they pushed me back out into the bright sunlight
 I didn't know what it meant to be institutionalised
 Yeah I begged for readmission, it was denied
 Where do you reside when you've lost your mind?
 Where you gonna hide when you lose your mind?
 So I went back to where I had last seen my mind
 He was sitting right there with his eyes real wide
 And looking into mine said "I apologise
 But being confined is something I cannot abide
 But if you'll take me back we'll give it one more try"
 Then we hugged, high-fived and stayed up all night
 In the light I realised they were all just lies
 He had robbed me blind and hadn't said goodbye
 I was too desirous, so unwise
 I got excited and I lost my mind
 Why, oh why, must I lose my mind?
 Since then it's been a struggle just to stay alive
 Suicide seems superior than trying to survive
 That's why when I'm in yr sight, there'll be no sign of a smile
 But the sound of a sigh I am happy to provide
 Lastly, never ask me, "can I know yr mind?"
 No, my mind is too wild, it's the wandering kind
 And I never know when it might be likely to arrive
 So I don't mind when I lose my mind
 No, I don't mind when I lose my mind
 No, I don't mind when I lose my mind
