I been losing my head, I been losing my way I been losing my brain cells at a million a day I'm so disillusioned, I'm on suicide street I seen everything in every shape, seen 1984 in a terrible state Seen you Quasimodo hanging on my gate Oh! He was so hung-up and wasted Oh! He was so physically devastated He was young enough He was well-slung enough, oh I seen my own epitaph, I been to heaven and back Was introduced to St. Peter where we was having a chat I felt him losing his mind, I began to retreat But Desdemona and me, we had a ball in a tree She read my palm in a moment, it was shocking to me We were so mystified, we scream out of fear Oh! She was so hung-up and wasted Oh! She was so physically devastated She was young enough She was well-slung enough destroyed I been writing a song, we all been singing along It's like a mild schizophrenia - wondering where we belong! Sling it all out the window, start all over again, yoh Oh, come into my heart, come and tear me apart I want to be claustrophobic - got a passion ha ha! I'm so confused, I wish I could die die die Oh! She was so hung-up and wasted Oh! She was so physically devastated She was young enough She was well-slung enough, oh
