i don't hate her
i hate what she's become i hate the
illness
well wouldn't it be better if
if you if
you put her someplace
do you mean an institution
a madhouse
people always call a madhouse someplace
don't they
put her in someplace
i'm so i didn't mean to sound uncaring i
what do you know about caring have you
ever seen the inside of one of those
places the laughing and the tears and
the cool eyes studying you
my mother in there but she's harmless
she's as harmless as one of these
stuffed birds
i am sorry i
i only failed i i i i felt what it
seemed that she was
she's hurting you i i meant well
people always mean well they collect
their
thick tongues and they shake their heads
and they suggest oh so very delicately
of course i've suggested it myself and i
hate to think about it
she needs me
it's not as if she were a maniac or a
raving thing
she just goes a little mad sometimes
we all go a little mad sometimes
haven't you
[Music]
you
