We've been waiting for you...
Lyrics
Does your boy seem far awayDisinterestedIn the days aheadTied to his bedDoes he tremble at the slightest soundAnd throw himself upon the groundIn a dazeDelirium's gazeThrough a cold frosted windowAnd watch all the world go byEntranced by the November sky
And we're waiting for youAnd we hope that you enjoyMiss Ida Makenzie's home for peculiar boys
Do voices of the recent deadResonate within in his headIn a tranceAn unholy danceA strong reaction to the callOf shadow figures in the hallWhere they playOn late Autumn daysDoes he torture small mammalsPull wings from the bottlefliesThat drowse in the cold of his eyes
And we're waiting for youAnd we hope that you enjoyMiss Ida Makenzie's home for peculiar boys
No expenses will be sparedIn treatment of your sonMedications hourlyAnd cages cleaned at oneFour fifty volt treatmentFor melancholy lapses at five
In this crumbling monstrosityMiss Ida holds the only keyTo the brainThe junior insaneIn time we think you'll come to knowThe blessings only we bestowTo the lostRegardless of costNine thirty sevenWest Desolation BoulevardHere in the city of night
And we're waiting for youAnd we hope that you enjoyMiss Ida Makenzie's home for peculiar boys
We've been waiting for youWe've been waiting for youWe've been waiting for youWe've been waiting for you
