This song he wrote when he was checked into a psychiatric hospital, i don't know when that was but the earliest live version i have heard was from 97... that just an indication of how old this song is. this is what the lyrics were back then
this is the place you'll up when you lose the chase
it's the patch or in the pill
to make you easier to kill
and all anybody knows is you look messed up
they inspect you in the head and send you back to bed
isolation draws into it
static into night
builds a little house for you to stay
but everybody's scared of this place
they're staying away
no one counts in memory lane
it's just as it appears
everybody fears
just to see u try to get
there evasive piece to fit
the part they never knew
because they did not want to
you keep the doors and windows shut
and you'll never show a soul again
but isolation draws into it
static into night
builds a little house for you to stay
but everybody's scared of this place
and staying away
no one counts in memory lane
if it's your decision to be open about yourself
be careful or else
you better be careful or else
uncomfortable apart
it's all written on my chart
and I take what's given me
most cooperatively
I do what people say
and lie in bed all day
but im never going to cry
under the doctors eye
isolation draws into it
static into night
builds a little house for you to stay
but everybody's scared of this place
and stayin away
no one counts in memory lane
The lyrics did get changed a lot between then and the basement version.
