One day I robbed a bank in the street
Just to see if I'd run
When they came to take me away
Yesterday, I stole a bus from the city
With the people still in
And I drove through the poppy fields
And I left them there
To find the way home

Just because I could
Just because I knew
You would lock me away
Missed psychiatrist
I'm running away from myself
Lock me away
So I can hurt no one
I wanted to live again
To live again

Someday I'll paint the soles of my feet blue
Just to leave the trail of footprints
I've deceived my crimes
To prove I'm alive
Just because I could
Just because I knew
You would lock me away
Missed psychiatrist
I'm running away from myself
Lock me away
So I can hurt no one
I wanted to live again

Hide me away
I need a therapist
I'm a danger to myself
Keep me away
Just long enough
Until I'm ... again
till I'm ... again
till I'm ... again

Just because I could
Just because I could
Just because I could
Just because you would
Just because you would lock me away
Missed psychiatrist
I'm running away from myself
Lock me away
So I can hurt no one
I wanted to live again
Hide me away
I need a therapist
I'm a danger to myself
Keep me away
Just long enough
Until I'm again
till I'm ... again
till I'm ... again
Someday I'll paint the soles of my feet blue
Just because I love you
