You disintegrate from public performance Your attendance in crowds is not welcome at all Thick acrid perfume pours from your gullet Into a desperate running crowd Your morals are non-existent The depths of the family degradation you sink to are of course the lowest of the low I suggest when you reach the very bottom You put a flag out like Neil Armstrong did back in 1969 Contrary to popular belief this is no laughing matter There's a patient upstairs He is neither human nor an animal Why are people so cruel, narrow-minded fools Their perception of something, they should keep to themselves They should keep it a close-guarded secret not blurt it out on the front of the tabloids every day every week now Every day, every week, every month and every year I cry for mankind I cry for mankind Don't you know it's so good for you As active as I may be, I still go home alone I may entertain the crowds, be full of boundless energy I still go home alone I may be legal age I still go home alone I have visions of love for the world and his wife Still go home alone For your mum and dad Still go home alone (...that there has been no social worker for his family since January...) I cry for mankind I cry for mankind Contrary to popular belief this is no laughing matter I am the patient that's upstairs I'm not human, I'm not an animal (...allocated urgently to...) Sometimes it's kind of Victorian I don't get bored Jewellery boxes
