It's was only a matter of time
You should have listened to what the doctor said
You should have noticed the warning signs
When you slept with barbed wire in your bed

You need a straitjacket, you are confused
You need a straitjacket, to beat the blues
You need a soft spot in a rubber room
I wanna see you in a straitjacket soon

You were once a sweet young thing
Of style and tact and grace
But I should have known there was something wrong
When you stuck those lashes all over your face

You need a straitjacket, you are confused
You need a straitjacket, to beat the blues
You need a soft spot in a rubber room
I wanna see you in a straitjacket soon

You're paranoid, delusional
You need a plastic fork and a plastic spoon
You're paranoid, delusional
You need a plastic fork and a plastic spoon
You're catatonic, psychotic
You need medication

It's was only a matter of time
I should have listened to what the doctor said
I should have noticed the warning signs
When you slept with barbed wire in your bed

You need a straitjacket, you are confused
You need a straitjacket, to beat the blues
You need a soft spot in a rubber room
I wanna see you in a straitjacket soon
Straitjacket soon
Straitjacket soon
Straitjacket soon - oh yeah!
