The Lyrics
In this scenario, it's from the POV of a crazy man put in a clinic for evaluation and medication.
They put me in a zoo
I couldn’t unwind
Better stop these tests you wanna do
I ain’t lyin’
Got me cryin’
As a patient, I can’t stand it
Crazies runnin’ around
They’re all against me
Can’t stand it, you better lock ‘em down
They put me in a zoo
I couldn’t unwind
Lost time
How time flew
How time flew
How time flew
I was pretty mean
I wasn’t even aware
What was done to me
Just give me Thorazine
Am I crazy?
They put me in a zoo
I couldn’t unwind
(Have I lost my mind?)
I couldn’t unwind
Better stop these tests you wanna do
I ain’t lyin’
Got me cryin’
As a patient, I can’t stand it
Crazies runnin’ around
They’re all against me
Can’t stand it, you better lock ‘em down
They put me in a zoo
I couldn’t unwind
Lost time
How time flew
How time flew
How time flew
I was pretty mean
I wasn’t even aware
What was done to me
Just give me Thorazine
Am I crazy?
They put me in a zoo
I couldn’t unwind
(Have I lost my mind?)
