Bordering on the bypass,
Just outside our city walls,
There is a mental hospital,
Like you've never seen.
It has got the capacity
Of all shopping centres of the city;
If your nerves run wild
They will drive you yet crazier.
Hey, hey, hey, I was the golden rider,
Hey, hey, hey, I am a son of this city,
Hey, hey, hey, I was so high up on the ladder,
But then I fell off, yes, I fell off.
On the way to the hospital
I saw the city lights once again;
They burned like fire in my eyes,
I felt lonely and totally exhausted.
Hey, hey, hey, I was the golden rider,
Hey, hey, hey, I am a son of this city,
Hey, hey, hey, I was so high up on the ladder,
But then I fell off, yes, I fell off.
Hey, hey, hey, I was the golden rider,
Hey, hey, hey, I am a son of this city,
Hey, hey, hey, I was so high up on the ladder,
But then I fell off, yes, I fell off.
Safety emergency signals,
Life-threatening schizophrenic disorder -
New treatment centres
Never fight the real causes.
Hey, hey, hey, I was the golden rider,
Hey, hey, hey, I am a son of this town,
Hey, hey, hey, I was so high up on the ladder,
But then I fell off, yes, I fell off.
