Listen, to reason It was you Who went away Living, together Was never easy In any case
I had to live With you not there Now you're coming back My greatest fear
No, no, no, no, no You're like a stranger So many ways You haven't changed
No, no, no, no, no I feel in danger When will you be The same again?
You've been too long in the institution You've been too long in the institution You've been too long in the institution You've been too long in the institution
I wrote letters oh my I didn't get no reply That got me thinking You must be seeing some other guy
So high I couldn't get over Too wide, I couldn't Get around So low, I couldn't get under So I just sit and wonder
No, no, no, no, no You're like a stranger So many ways You haven't changed
No, no, no, no, no I feel in danger When will you be The same again?
You've been too long in the institution You've been too long in the institution You've been too long in the institution You've been too long in the institution
You've been too long in the institution You've been too long in the institution You've been too long in the institution You've been too long in the institution
It's too high, it's too wide I don't know My left from my left side Where did I go wrong? Oh God, what have I done?
