Mentally Yours

Well it's been some time since I posted anything from Savatage so here we go.

"Mentally Yours" is lead into the final 3 tracks of Gutter Ballet which are all related. This is a dip into insanity, the suffering or the bliss? In many ways I think this should be my default theme tune (well this or Crazy Train).

Again I'm a real sucker for the piano and the intro makes for stark contrast to the body of this particular song. The arrangement really fits the content of this one.

Timmy went out to play
With the friends he made
Why did they send him away
He drove his mommy mad
His daddy ran
They didn't understand
Now he gazes his cold nights through
Reliving all the things he would do
If only he had another chance
If that was all he had

His tension life
He beats the wife
Douse the cat with gasoline
Gotta try
The other side
He just has to get away
That's when it all began
Timmy lost his mind
Was just a matter of time
Before he went crazy

Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
I am mentally yours

Running wild
Cause that's his style
Can't be held by any cage
Crossed the line
The final time
Tonight he takes his stage
That's when it all began
Timmy lost his mind
No one cried
When Timmy died

Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
I am mentally yours

Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
I am mentally yours
Mentally yours
Mentally yours
Mentally yours
Mentally
Mentally
Mentally
Yours

Suffer insanity. Nope, I'm still enjoying it.
