My Mind Is Cold - My Mind Is Cold, And I Am Nobody lyrics

A patient on Ward 13 South at May Rèves Hospital Center told me That in the Fall of 2007 Our world was taken hostage by an evil being from another dimension I nodded And stared into his exposed stomach Which quaked in fear of his dissociated mind Ward 13 South is an adult psychiatric unit I was given pills of various shapes and sizes With the presumed intention of adjusting the temperature of my mind To a state of maximum warmth When the pills proved ineffective I turned in a 72 hour letter to the director of the hospital I was promptly discharged And it was advised that I have no further contact With anyone I'd met on the unit What happens on 13 South stays on 13 South Through their many failed attempts to adjust the temperature of my mind The doctors on Ward 13 South proved themselves To be both weak and incompetent As human beings and medical professionals And though my mind remains At a steady temperature of 12 degrees Fahrenheit Far lower than that of the average American I was often noted for the warm presence I brought To the otherwise cold and clinical environment of the unit In the hours leading up to my discharge I borrowed a No.2 pencil from the nurse's station And in an empty space on the wall In the four-bedded room I'd called a home the past ten days I wrote "I have reached the other side And the gra** is no greener Than from within the confines of your prison My mind is cold And I am somebody" Good evening I am somebody Talked to the tourist lost on the bridge I told him he wasn't that lost Talked to the man who inherited the world And I told him he wasn't that rich He tore up my portrait of Nurse Ratched And I kicked him in his thigh And he screamed And I laughed Like the wicked Wicked witch Talked to the man who was trapped Within the walls of a prison hidden underground, said "When your mind is cold You are somebody" When your mind is cold You are somebody You can be everybody And I'd like to thank you for having me tonight 'Cause your mind is cold Will you excuse me? I'm just trying to find the bridge The Brooklyn Bridge Where's that confounded bridge?
