And who are these scary men? Is this all real? Is this all necessary? Or it this a joke? Man, ya know I don't regret at all They locked me up for good Pinned me against the wall I can't find the exit I quit lookin for doors I stole a razor from the commissary I just couldn't take it no more I'm swimmin in blood Like a rat on a sewer floor No longer insane Just part of this crazy dream ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Gutter Cat Vs. The Jets (Buxton, Dunaway, L. Bernstein, S.
