Grey Walls
I took my darling down, I took my darling down To that big grey house down the lane And then the doctor said, he said "It's in her head She's never going to be right again" I kissed my love goodbye, she didn't blink an eye They took her down the hall, she never looked back at all Oh behind grey walls, somewhere there's a soul Behind grey walls, she's out of control She's crying out for help, no-one can hear O Lord have pity on her, O Lord have pity on her My darling walks the floor, my darling walks the floor She walks every minute that she can I heard my darling say, I heard my darling say That she don't know who I am Cigarette burns down her arm, said she tried to do herself harm Tied her arms in the back, trussed her up like a sack Oh behind grey walls, somewhere there's a soul Behind grey walls, she's out of control She's crying out for help, no-one can hear O Lord have pity on her, O Lord have pity on her I saw my darling's face, I saw my darling's face It looked so pale in the distance SongtexteShe stared out from her room into the dying gloom And I saw her poor tears glisten Pills to keep her calm, more punctures than a junkie in her arm Strapped her on the bed, seventy volts through her head Oh behind grey walls, somewhere there's a soul Behind grey walls, she's out of control She's crying out for help, no-one can hear O Lord have pity on her, O Lord have pity on her Behind grey walls Behind grey walls Aus Songtexte Mania
