A miraculous chance event, a sense of danger
Saved my life from a living hell
Destroyed creativity, lack of sensitivity
No ambition, motivation or love

Hey man, you look brighter today
Hey man, you look happier today
Hey man, you're more alert today
It looks like a change for the better

The only reason it lasted so long is
I cannot understand what is happening to me
I cannot understand what is happening to me
I cannot understand what is happening to me
I cannot understand what is happening to me

I lie on the sofa and I go to sleep
I'm too scared to concentrate on pretty much anything
I'm as stable as a concrete block
Living hell for nine years

The only reason it lasted so long is
I cannot understand what is happening to me
I cannot understand what is happening to me
I cannot understand what is happening to me
I cannot understand what is happening to me

Unholy power obliterates the defences
Gets inside and starts to rule
And this time my only saviour was a freak storm that went out of control

Hey man, you look brighter today
Hey man, you look happier today
Hey man, you're more alert today
Something's set the new you in motion

But the only reason it lasted so long is
I cannot understand what is happening to me
I cannot understand what is happening to me
I cannot understand what is happening to me
I cannot understand what is happening to me

So come to hell and release the prisoners
Ask the question "How does it feel?"
Don't assume that the dominant notions
Are correct ways of looking at the world

I'm living half-asleep, I'm upside down
I can't do pretty much anything
But the really important main solution
Is to get stuff out the heart and into the mind

What did I do to deserve hell for nine years?
