^A ^E ^B He seemed no different from the rest ^A ^E Just a healthy normal boy ^A ^E ^B His mama always did her best ^A ^E And he was his daddy's pride and joy

^A ^E ^B He learned to walk and talk on time ^A ^E But never cared much to be held ^A ^E ^B And steadily he would decline ^A ^E Into his solitary shell.

^BAs a boy, he was cons^Aidered somewhat ^Eodd. ^BKept to himself most ^Aof the time. ^E ^BHe would daydream in ^Aand out of his o^Ewn world, But in ^Aevery other way, he was ^Bfine.

He's a ^EMonday morning lunatic Dis^Bturbed from time to time. Lo^Ast within himself In his ^Esolitary ^Bshell.

^ETemporary catatonic M^Badman on occasion When ^Awill he break out Of his ^Esolitary ^Bshell' ^E

^A ^E ^B He struggled to get through his day ^A H^Ee was helplessly behind ^A ^E ^B He poured himself onto the page ^A W^Eriting for hours at a time.

^BAs a man, he was a danger t^Ao himself.^E ^BFearful and sad most of the^A time. ^E ^BHe was drifting in and out ^Aof sanity.^E But in ^Aevery other way, he was ^Bfine.

He's a ^EMonday morning lunatic Dis^Bturbed from time to time Lo^Ast within himself In his ^Esolitary ^Bshell

^EA momentary maniac with ^Bcasual delusions. ^AWhen will he be let out Of his ^Esolitary ^Bshell'
