St. Elizabeth Story Lyrics

strollin' down a green pathway
with my fellow invalids
halloween party tonight
in the women's gym

saturday night at the dance
i'd ask you if i dance, ooh?

men's ward wants me back
by 10, not far?
take down your half mask
and i'll see who you are

saturday night at the dance
i'd ask you if i dance, ooh?

at three o'clock this morning
look through the glass
i'll blink the floor lights on and off
like ships that pass

saturday night at the dance
i'd ask you if i...
saturday night at the dance
i'd ask you if i...
saturday night at the dance
i'd ask you if i dance, ooh?
ooh

Love song written by a patient at a psychiatric hospital, probably St. Elizabeths in Washington, D.C.

Could this song perhaps be related to E's sister Elizabeth? He hasn't written anything about her since Electro-shock Blues, but it'd be kind of a weird coincidence for the name Elizabeth to show up and it not be about her.
