Institutional Man Lyrics

by Dio

Inside the walls I've made to keep out all who reach for me

I might have lost my way and I can't come out again

Don't come around here anymore, you may infect yourself

Don't ever cross this line, you could see monsters in your mind

There just like me!

Have I erased all sense of touch, I don't feel anything

Sometimes they say I need, sometimes I think I need

Sometimes I know I need new parts for my brain

Most dreams, they're black and white, but I must color mine

Each day's another endless night of screaming

Of shouting at the outside, someone let me in

Set me free now no-one can

Faces at the window

Stop the water, bags of sand

Institutional man...

Sometimes they say I need, sometimes I think I need

Sometimes I know I need new parts for my brain

Set me free now no-one can

Faces at the window

Lock the cages, tie my hands

Institutional, institutional man...
