Back At The Funny Farm Lyrics
Hammer pounding in my heart, I think it's gonna burst
Spring unwinding in my head, I don't know which is worse
I hear ya talkin' but the words are kinda strange
One of us is crazy and the other one's insane
Stay calm, don't be alarmed, it's just a holiday
Back at the funny farm
Nothin' in this cold white room to help me recognise
I don't understand why everyone is in disguise
I gotta live right now, I can't stay here no more
But I'm afraid to try in case they've locked the door
Can't find the windows but I gotta get outside
Can you help me stand it feels like both my legs have died
What was that injection, 'cos I think it's goin' wrong
I really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long
Spring unwinding in my head, I don't know which is worse
I hear ya talkin' but the words are kinda strange
One of us is crazy and the other one's insane
Back at the funny farm
I don't understand why everyone is in disguise
I gotta live right now, I can't stay here no more
But I'm afraid to try in case they've locked the door
Can you help me stand it feels like both my legs have died
What was that injection, 'cos I think it's goin' wrong
I really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long

It might be a song about going into delirium tremens at the Betty Ford Clinic.
The song is about a guy in a mental institution. " One of us is crazy and the other on's insane" indicates he may be schizophrenic. he also states, that someone has locked the door on his cold white room. In the final verse he seems to be sadated so he can't move his legs and being put into a straight jacket (" really like this jacket but the sleeves are much too long")
It's about the psychosis of a speed binge, the paranoia and hearing voices
