Alice Cooper - The Ballad Of Dwight Fry (Live) Lyrics

Lyrics

I was gone for fourteen days, I could have been gone for more;
Held up in intensive care ward, Lying on the floor.
I was gone for all those days, But I was not all a-lone;
I made friends with a lot of peo-ple in the danger zone

See my lone-ly life un-fold I see it ev-ry day
See my only mind ex-plode, since I've gone a-way

I think I lost some weight there, And I'm sure I need some rest;
Sleeping don't come very easy In a straight white vest.
Sure like to see that little children, She's only four years old ole
I'd give her back all her play things even even the one I stole

See my lone-ly life un-fold I see it ev-ry day
See my lone-ly mind ex-plode, when I've gone in-sane
Interlude 3X

(I wanna get out of here, I've wanna get out of here.)
(I gotta get out of here, I've got to get out of here.)
(I gotta get out of here, I've got to get out of here.)

See my lone-ly life un-fold I see it ev-ry day
See my lone-ly mind ex-plode, blow up in my face
Interlude 3X
I grabbed my hat I got my coat I ran into the street
I saw a man that was chok-ing there I guess he couldn't breathe
Said to my-self, this is ver-y strange, I'm glad it wasn't me;
But now I hear those sirens call-ing And so I am not free
(I didn't want to be)
(I didn't want to be)
(I didn't want to be)

See my lone-ly life un-fold
See my lone-ly mind ex-plode, blow up in my face
Ending in "
