Madhouse
In this house, the pepper's in the salt shaker,
the salt's in the sugar bowl,
the sugar's in the flour bin,
and nobody can taste the difference.
In this house, the drugs don't work.
We huff paint fumes and grow brain cells,
big, juicy brain cells,
and feed them to the cats like Tender Vittles.
In this house, the car's in the garden shed
and the dirty laundry's in the pantry.
We plant the tulip bulbs upside down
just so's next spring will be beautiful in China.
In this house, we have fun, twirl around until
we puke, and then we do it again,
and then we fall into a big heap and cry until
the carpet's soaked with our tears and
we laugh when the goldfish tries to do the backstroke
on the living room floor.
In this house, we've got plenty of room,
but no place to sit.
