Jennifer Clay

When her shadow first fell on the steps of the institution
It never occurred to her that she may never leave

They led her to a room at the end of a hallway
They gave her some pills that she tried to hide in her sleeve

Jennifer Clay
She won't be going home today

Jennifer Clay... Jennifer Clay

They wouldn't let her mingle with the others
She watched them through the window of her door

Angry and confused
She started runnin' 'round
She circled fifty times then fell to the ground

Jennifer Clay
She won't be leaving her room today

Jennifer Clay... Jennifer Clay

Caught up in the ether between...
(Her mind wanders through the skylight, an image on a screen...)
Reality and her dreams...
(A picture in a book that mesmerizes like a dream...)
Remembering pictures of places far from here...
(The workers they go home at night and leave her world behind...)
She makes the walls disappear.
(She catches just a glimpse of freedom only in her mind.)

Jennifer Clay
She won't be getting outta bed today
Jennifer Clay
She won't be leaving her room today
Jennifer Clay
She won't be going home today

Jennifer Clay... she's here to stay

Out through the door in her mind and her thoughts, with a whisper... she's gone.
