about

Written 1995 in the Netherlands

lyrics

I was out of my mind
Told her all of my fears
Open wide as the grin of a man
With a mouth stretching ear to ear
I live in a flat on the east side of town
It's part of my childish makebelieve world
I play with my figures
'Cause dolls are for girls

Last night I climbed a mountain
Of thoughts whose time hadn't come
I'm a genius
But that's only known to me and my mum
'Cause I tell her everything, more if she asks
Her world is of me and mine if of her
'Cause she makes me pancakes
The way I prefer

My communist friend has a mother like me
She lets him eat shortbread and drink herbal tea
He says that an astronaut's what he will be
Just like me

I'm content in my closet
But don't go through the blue door
Dad says there's nothing for me there
I guess that's what daddies are for
I live in a castle where I am the prince
And everyone loves 'cause they tell me so
And away from my castle
I will never go

My communist friend has a castle like me
It's full of blue doors to where he cannot be
He says that he hates to be ever so free
Just like me

I was out of my mind
Just like me
