Tea & Thorazine

[Chorus 1: Andrew Bird] I can tell by the way you take your infusion You've spent some time in a mental institution Oh, what a dream life would seem if only They let you keep your Etch A Sketch [Verse 1] Yeah, you laugh like a banshee, gesticulate your delirium They treat you like a corpse, keep you full of candy lithium What a dream life would seem if if you could see The world from inside an Etch A Sketch [Chorus 2] I can tell by the way you reach your conclusions You're the director of a mental institution Oh what a dream life would seem if only It hadn't been for Doctor B [Verse 2] Animate yourself an alternate reality Consummate a self-pleasing artificiality You can have yourself a tea [Chorus 1]
