I'm staring at the floor In a room with four walls No windows and no door At the masonary I claw The initials of my love Though imagined, real enough She holds me in her arms And sings me softly to sleep The world isolates me Or do I isolate myself? Take me any way you want me Don't need anybody else And so I watch you isolate me Or will I isolate myself? Take me any way you want me Don't need anybody else I'm breathing sterile air And laughing at nightmares And with blunt silverware I'll dig my way out of here To France or Mexico Cause that's where lovers go To watch the sun go down And make soft content sounds The world isolates me Or do I isolate myself? Take me any way you want me Don't need anybody else And so I watch you isolate me Or will I isolate myself Maybe this will make me stronger Maybe I'll earn a padded cell I'm checking in I'm checking in I'm checking in I'm checking in ♪ This hospital smell Disinfect and make me well Numb these idle thoughts Give me calm tranquil shores Lapping at my feet Turn my back on the sea This medicine will be My life-ring necessity The world isolates me Or do I isolate myself? Take me any way you want me Don't need anybody else And so I watch you isolate me Or will I isolate myself Maybe this will make me stronger And I'll put self help on the shelf And so I watch you isolate me Take me any way And so I watch you isolate me Take me any way
