crazy thoughts are running through my mind
and crazy people are playing with my life
days keep giving me
a different kind of
crazy ways to view this
normal life
like…
it’s crazy how the sun will rise
different places at different times
or how a clown makes a child cry
tears fall in the happy times
rain sounds like clapping hands and
stomping feet in different lands
monkey cymbals seem to keep the time
and it’s crazy these thoughts
running through my mind
nahnahhnah nah yeah.
crazy ideas running through my head
and crazy to think about what
some people have said
days keep giving me
a different kind of
crazy ways to view this normal life
like what’s important is relative
to the sedative that your society gives you
you sit in detox and swear you’ll die
and it’s the pain that keeps you alive
stepping out on the other side
you see the sky and realize that
…they were wrong.
they say what they do not mean
and no one seems to be listening
to anyone or anything
I mean, tell me the truth
Are you? Listening? Are you listening?
Nah nah nahh nanah yeah.
Nah nah nahh nanah yeah.
monkey cymbals seem to keep the time
and monkey hands look a lot like mine
it’s crazy these thoughts
running through my
mind.
