Lock me up and throw away the key
You don't know what you've done to me
Life is great in this padded cell
You've gotta ask for service just ring the bell
I know what it's like to be alone
Never had a home
Any clothes to wear
What does it take to make you see?
Ain't much left of me
You don't seem to care
Give me asylum
I don't need no-one
Give me asylum
Give me asylum
When I was young they'd treat me cruel
You know they give me matches and a can of fuel
They'd lock me up in the shed all night
Hoping that I would ignite
I know what it's like to be alone
Never had a home
Any clothes to wear
What does it take to make you see?
Ain't much left of me
You don't seem to care
Give me asylum
I don't need no-one
Give me asylum
Give me asylum
When I was young they'd treat me cruel
You know they give me matches and a can of fuel
They'd lock me up in the shed all night
Hoping that I would ignite
What does it take to make you see?
Ain't much left of me
You don't seem to care
I know what it's like to be alone
Never had a home
Any clothes to wear
Give me asylum
I don't need no-one
Give me asylum
Give me asylum
Give me asylum
I don't need no-one
Give me asylum
Give me asylum
