STRAIGHT JACKET

( Dufay )

Well... people in the world agree

They say hey... you got a strange vibration

They see me riding high

And rockin through the night

They try to tame... oh tame... my situation

My mind was in a rage

When I flew from the cage

It was a great day for aviation

So they put me in a straight

Oh straight... straight jacket

And they put me in a straight

Yeah straight... straight jacket

They put me in a straight

Yeah straight... straight jacket

Well I'm sitting on top of the world

And I say

It's such a great... oh great... sensation

I'm still riding high

And I'm out of their cage

And they don't know what to do

Don't know what to do

With my way

So they put me in a straight

Oh straight... straight jacket

And they put me in a straight

Yeah straight... straight jacket

They put me in a straight

Yeah straight... straight jacket

Note:

This song is autobiographical

because Dufay really was locked

up in a nuthouse in the past and he really was

put in a straightjacket.

What's more, he was locked up in a padded cell.

One way or another, one day he had an opportunity to run

away from the place so he jumped out the window. That's why it

mentions "aviation". Because of jumping from such a great

height he busted both of his legs.

If memory serves,

Tyler confirms it in his memoir.

What's more, it's no mistake

that no songs on this album finish with a fade out effect.

However, "Baby Now I" and "Straight Jacket" are one long song.

It was intended to be so, and it means that Dufay was put in a

straight jacket because of the woman from the previous song.
