Lyrics

[00:36.03] He seemed no different from the rest
[00:39.73] Just a healthy normal boy
[00:44.35] His mama always did her best
[00:48.05] And he was daddy's pride and joy
[00:52.97] He learned to walk and talk on time
[00:56.50] But never cared much to be held
[01:01.10] and steadily he would decline
[01:04.78] Into his solitary shell
[01:07.95] As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
[01:12.41] Kept to himself most of the time
[01:17.52] He would daydream in and out of his own world
[01:21.10] but in every other way he was fine
[01:25.97] He's a Monday morning lunatic
[01:30.48] Disturbed from time to time
[01:35.68] Lost within himself
[01:39.76] In his solitary shell
[01:45.47] A temporary catatonic
[01:50.34] Madman on occasion
[01:55.10] When will he break out
[01:58.95] Of his solitary shell
[02:33.62] He struggled to get through his day
[02:37.32] He was helplessly behind
[02:42.08] He poured himself onto the page
[02:45.66] Writing for hours at a time
[02:48.78] As a man he was a danger to himself
[02:53.44] Fearful and sad most of the time
[02:58.39] He was drifting in and out of sanity
[03:01.91] But in every other way he was fine
[03:06.78] He's a Monday morning lunatic
[03:11.39] Disturbed from time to time
[03:16.68] Lost within himself
[03:20.59] In his solitary shell
[03:26.15] A momentary maniac
[03:30.80] With casual delusions
[03:35.97] When will he be let out
[03:39.85] Of his solitary shell
