When I hear the man outside my window

Kicking down my door,

Dm Am C

And all the megaphones are screaming

Letters of the Lord

A# C

Would you walk in through the gates

Gm C Gm

And visit me, would you, please?

A# F

In the Asylum

(Just repeat the chords)

When they're counting out the chemicals

And doing daily tasks,

And giving out prescription drugs,

And putting on their masks

A# C

Would you wander through the grounds,

Gm C

To visit me,

A# Gm

As they opened up the gates

And turn the key, would you, please?

In the Asylum

Gm C

If they burn my brain away,

Gm C

Would you understand?

If they try to hold me down,

Would you hold my hand?

Gm A# F

Could you stand, stand the Asylum?
