A late Christmas tune to the tune of 'Winter Wonderland'

On The Observation Ward

In my head I'm hearing voices
Urging me to make some choices
But for 72 hours the voice lost its power
Cause I'm locked up on the observation ward

Now it's clear I'm unstable
but they must find a label
Let the DSM name what's wrong with my brain
While I'm on the observation ward

For many days I skipped my medication
Until I started acting like a fool
Authorities agreed on intervention
So they doped me till I only sit and drool

The police called 5150
To the PUF unit they ship me
Where my ego they shred crawling into my head
While I'm on the observation ward

Now the preacher's getting nervous
That I may disrupt the service
But Jesus was glad embracing the mad
He didn't need an observation ward
