Sunshine Ward Lyrics - Amebix

Roses are red. sometimes violets are blue but we're always puking on cider 

and glue 

People say that we're twisted, you know it's not true, we just get so bad 

when there's fuck all to do 

Life in this building is freezing and wet, if I once had a brain then I 

seem to forget 

'Cos just when I caught it, it slipped through the net, now we sedate 

ourselves slowly no time for regret 

Sunshine wards laughing, the inmates are here, filling our lives full of 

sulphate and beer 

We've tried every way to make "real life" less clear as stupidity sets in 

the truth disappears 

Sunshine wards screaming, we crawl to the door 

Reality creeps back, I can't take no more 

There is no more stairway we're stuck on this floor 

And fear digs in deep, as the patients hands claw
