blunt force of trama
left a lot of
memories back in the ward
I had a daughter,
and sorta
remember we used to go to the store
shopping for candy
stop for a milkshake
malted hands holding alike
but then her father
took the honor
of telling me they took my ex wife's life
that night
back in 1975

west 209
I reside all the time
west 209
turning frail
burning kerosene tonight

and now gladys,
is the saddest
name to mutter down the hall
shock treatment
left me speachless
with only one thing left to say

the sky is falling
this hospitals falling
i wanna leave you're insane
if you want to stay

west 209
I reside all the time
my bed is on the right,
and everything is fine
west 209
stole my mind
gladys chose to love so much
she died

then one summer
you took my mother
and my sister took me to
the right of greystone
to a payphone
admitting me, she could hardly say so

oh west 209
for the rest of my life
west 209
this hospitals on fire
west 209
the rest of my life
collapse my lungs,
collapse the ward
until atlast I see my wife.
