radicaldruid.com/mp3s/JRL/01 – Half Crazy.mp3
I’ll tell you that I almost lost it
once or twice but now I’m doing fine.
(there may have been an incident
that put me down somewhere along the line)
I’ve been held back, and I’ve lost track.
It got to be too much and I got lazy.
They tell me parts don’t make the whole,
but no one’s ever really just half crazy
I’ll tell you I was loco over you
but now I’ve come back to my sense.
(Still, any man who’s studied Freud
will tell you there’s no middle of the fence)
And I’ll admit, there’s quite a bit of time
where what I did is kinda hazy.
I’m no exception to the rule,
‘Cause no one’s ever really just half crazy
You told me that I’d done things wrong,
that I’d forgotten how to talk to you –
and furthermore, you’d gotten sore
that I could never give you what you’re due.
That may be so, but I don’t know,
the right and wrong of it still kinda faze me
Seems like we’re two sides of the same mind .
No one’s ever really just half crazy
You acted like you didn’t want the things
I did because they were insane; and made me question who I was
and every thought that came into my brain.
I’ve been a wreck. In retrospect,
you really should have known you couldn’t save me.
But knowing’s just one piece of mind
and no one’s ever really just half crazy.
