The Dream Syndicate - Ballad of Dwight Frye lyrics

"Mommy, where's daddy? He's been gone such a long time Do you think he'll ever come back?" I was gone for fourteen days Could've been gone for more Locked up in an intensive care ward Lyin' on the floor I was gone for all those days But I was not alone I made a lot of friends there In the danger zone See my lonely life unfold I see it every day See my only mind explode When I've gone away I guess I lost some weight there And I could use some rest Sleeping don't come very easy In a straight white vest Sure would love to see the little children She's only five years old I'd give her back all of her play things Even the ones I stole See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday See my only mind explode When I've gone insane See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday See my only mind explode Blow up in my face I grabbed my coat and I got my hat And I ran into the street I saw a man who was choking there I guess he couldn't breathe This all seems so very strange I'm glad it wasn't me But then I hear those sirens callin' And I know that I can't be free See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday See my only mind explode When I've gone insane See my lonely life unfold I see it everyday See my only mind explode Blow up in my face
