Asylum Street Blues

I did a fairly extensive search today, and couldn’t find the lyrics for Asylum Street Blues (Asylum Street Spankers/Hot Mess). So here they are…

Baby I miss you strapped down in my bed
Baby I miss you while I’m strapped down in my bed
Outside it’s July… December rollin’ through my head

Yeah it’s been a long time since I took the fall
If I did something wrong I don’t remember at all
I look for you out my window all I see is padded walls

I got those old cold molded unfolded asylum street blues
I got those old cold molded unfolded asylum street blues
The questions keep pilin’ up but I’m all outta clues

Something’s tickin’ in my head baby
I bet it ain’t no clock
I could really use some schnapps, or whiskey or pilsner or bock
I just wanna catch a buzz but all’s they giving me is shock

I got them old cold molded unfolded asylum street blues
I got them old cold molded unfolded asylum street blues
My silk hospital gown and my two-tone paper shoes
