Mama I'M Strange Lyrics

What's this little lie 

They keep on telling me 

It's just another high 

They keep on selling me 

I was only five 

They fed me so much jive

They said just have a ball Just be a Barbie doll 

They churned and burned me out 

Until they turned me out 

Over and over again

Mama I'm strange 

The thoughts and the wants are the locks

On the back of my brain 

I'm descending pretending I'm blending 

I'm going insane 

And they want me to change 

Mama I'm strange 

I'm on a shaky wall 

I'm tripping down the hall

And all the king's men can't

Can't sew me up again 

I've got a leaky head 

Don't know the full extent

I'm drowning in my bed

I'm just an accident 

They chewed and blew me out

Until they threw me out

Over and over again 

If I could tranquilize 

I might just vaporize 

They couldn't supervise

They couldn't criticize 

I have no evidence

I have no reverence 

It makes no difference 

I have no innocence

Help me mama help me now
