Mama I’m Strange Lyrics

What′s this little lie they keep on telling me?
It's just another high they keep on selling me
I was only five, they fed me so much jive
They said "Just have a ball, just be a Barbie doll"

They chewed and burned me out
Until they turned me out
Over and over again

Mama, I′m strange
The thoughts and the wants are the locks on the back of my brain
I'm descending, pretending, I'm blending, I′m going insane
And they want me to change
Mama, I′m strange

I'm on a shaky wall, I′m tripping down the hall
And all the king's men can′t, can't sew me up again
I got a leaky head, don′t know the full extent
I'm drowning in my bed, I'm just an accident

They chewed and blew me out
Until they threw me out
Over and over again

Mama, I′m strange
The thoughts and the wants are the locks on the back of my brain
I′m descending, pretending, I'm blending, I′m going insane
And they want me to change
Mama, I'm strange

If I could tranquilize, I might just vaporize
They couldn′t supervise, they couldn't criticize
I have no evidence, I have no reverence
It makes no difference, I have no innocence

Mama, I′m strange (Help me, mama, help me now)

The thoughts and the wants are the locks on the
Back of my brain (Help me, mama, help me now)
I'm descending, pretending, I'm blending
I′m going insane (Help me, mama, help me now)
And they want me to change

Mama, I′m strange (Help me, mama, help me now)

The thoughts and the wants are the locks on the
Back of my brain (Help me, mama, help me now)
I'm descending, pretending, I′m blending
I'm going insane (Help me, mama, help me now)
And they want me to change (Help me, mama, help me now)
I′m going insane (Help me, mama, help me now)
And they want me to change (Help me, mama, help me now)
Mama, I'm strange

Mama, I′m strange
Mama, I'm strange
