Strange institution

(Dave Hill-Mal Spooner) He stares alone at the night No emotion shown A glimmer of light Now and then Communication is broken down Contact is lost Just a machine between him And his maker It's a strange institution they call life A nowhere existence, but who's right? They gave you a mountain to climb But left you no will to survive It hurts to see him now The way he is Just a shadow of a man That I once knew A restless spirit running wild Hey you! Hey you always laughed In the face of disaster It's a strange institution, they call life A nowhere existence, but who's right? They gave you a mountain to climb They left you no will to survive There's just a machine between him And his maker
