Patient Number 9 (feat. Jeff Beck) Lyrics
"Is there a way out of here?"
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, hahaha"
"Hahaha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Hahaha"
"I want to go home"
"Hahaha"
"Mommy, mommy"
Every hallway's painted white as the light
That will guide you to your help
Making friends with strangers inside my mind
'Cause they seem to know me well
Hiding the pills inside your mouth
Swallow 'em down then spit them out
I hear the laughter scream and shout
"No tomorrow"
When they call your name
better run and hide
Tell you you're insane
you believe their lies
I'm not getting out, no
I'm not getting out alive
I'm not getting out
'cause I'm patient number 9
When the sun goes down, the animals cry
That's a sound you won't forget
It's the mirror's face you don't recognize
It'll get you in the end
Hiding the pills inside your mouth
Swallow 'em down then spit them out
I hear the laughter scream and shout
Someone help me
When they call your name
better run and hide
Tell you you're insane
you believe their lies
I'm not getting out, no
I'm not getting out alive
I'm not getting out
'cause I'm patient number 9
When the walls of a padded cell become reality
How many tears 'til I drown myself 'cause no one cries for me?
If there's a God, why'd he let the devil do his work on me? Oh, yeah
If there's a God, what am I doing here?
When they call your name
better run and hide
Tell you you're insane
you believe their lies
I'm not getting out, no
I'm not getting out alive
I'm not getting out
'cause I'm patient number 9
"Hey, how long you been here?"
"I wanna go home"
"Hey, hahaha"
"Hahaha"
"Excuse me, could you tell how to get out of here?"
"Hahaha"
"I want to go home"
"Hahaha"
"Mommy, mommy"
That will guide you to your help
'Cause they seem to know me well
Swallow 'em down then spit them out
better run and hide
you believe their lies
I'm not getting out alive
'cause I'm patient number 9
That's a sound you won't forget
It'll get you in the end
Swallow 'em down then spit them out
Someone help me
When they call your name
better run and hide
Tell you you're insane
you believe their lies
I'm not getting out, no
I'm not getting out alive
'cause I'm patient number 9
How many tears 'til I drown myself 'cause no one cries for me?
If there's a God, what am I doing here?
When they call your name
better run and hide
you believe their lies
I'm not getting out alive
'cause I'm patient number 9

to me, this song takes place in an insane asylum. a new, younger patient arrives. an older patient tries to guide him, by telling him not to believe the lies he's told.
