You're standing on a hill, looking down at the city
Thinking 'bout your life and your bottle of pills
They released you from the hospital, you're cured!
So this is how freedom feels?
Largactyl Relax (it's only paranoia)
Feel a little numb? Feel a little tired?
Your brain's asleep and your body's retired
You've learned to fit in. OBEY!
You're just a shadow of what you used to be
Largactyl Relax (it's only paranoia)
A comfortable life? A car and a wife?
It's only a dream but it's fuckin' obscene
You've learned to fit in, a vegetable!
Senility! At 21 they'll be coming for you
Thinking 'bout your life and your bottle of pills
They released you from the hospital, you're cured!

Please, anyone know what is spoken in the middle of this song? I will really apreciate if someone can write it down, because my english is not too goog.
Thanks
Well a bit late but maybe it will help someone else. As far as I can make out Martin says:
At times I forget where I am Sometimes its like I forget who I am Sometimes its like another part of me takes over. Sometimes I Cant sleep at night for the voices in my head. I don't know if its my own mind or if I just cant help myself or I just don't know what to do.
The very last 3 words, I can't make out at all, if anyone else can help. ALso some more background information. Martin was the original drummer for Amebix, He was diagnosed as schizophrenic and forced into a mental home by his parents and put on Largactyl, a very strong drug.
What he says in the song is how he felt once he had gotten out, according to Rob Miller there was never anything really wrong in the first place, Largactyl made him much much worse.
Thanks a lot Satanarchist! You seems to be really into Amebix. I wanted to understand it for years, thanks again!

The song is about the negative side effects of anti-psychotic drugs, they stop the delusions, but they make you dumb. Simple.
