Institutional Man - Dio

Inside the walls I’ve made

To keep out all who reach for me

I might have lost my way

And I can’t come out again

Don’t come around here anymore

You may infect yourself

Don’t ever cross this line

You could see monsters

In your mind there just like me

Have I erased all sense of touch?

I don’t feel anything

Sometimes they say I need

Sometimes I think I need

Sometimes I know I need

New parts for my brain

Most dreams, they’re black and white

But I must color mine

Each day’s another endless night of screaming

Of shouting at the outside

Someone let me in

Set me free now no-one can

Faces at the window

Stop the water, bags of sand

Institutional man

Sometimes they say I need

Sometimes I think I need

Sometimes I know I need

New parts for my brain

Set me free now no-one can

Faces at the window

Lock the cages, tie my hands

Institutional, institutional man
