#RhythmandBluesVarietyHour Vol. 17 – Stir Crazy

Yes, that word “crazy” is passé at this point in time now, but I feel like this is some of my finest work.

Stir Crazy- Written 10/24/09

Look into my eyes

Tell me what you see

I ain’t been the same

Since I last was free

It’s too late for you to try and save me

You should’ve tried to save me earlier

Your words have driven me mad

They’re the only thing I know

The only things I hear

How did this become so

I know I have gone completely crazy

I want you to share in the madness

I want you all to feel what I feel

And not even know if it’s real

I want you all to be exactly like me

So you’ll know what it is to be

I’m going stir crazy

Reaching in the back of my mind

Trying to find

The right things to show

To make you stir crazy

I want you to pick my brain

So that you can get what you need to know

To go stir crazy

I want you to be stark raving mad

So you’ll all know what it is to be

To be stir crazy

Let your mind go so free

Why don’t you come and go stir crazy with me

Don’t waste any time

Living with the sane

Leave that world behind

Play my crazy game

They’ll drive you mad eventually

Why don’t you do it sooner

They tortured me so bad

The favor will be returned

Poison every thought

Watch society burn

I’ll drive the whole word crazy

Since they failed to save me

I want you all to feel what I feel

And not even know if it’s real

I want you all to be exactly like me

So you’ll know what it is to be

I’m going stir crazy

Reaching in the back of my mind

Trying to find

The right things to show

To make you stir crazy

I want you to pick my brain

So that you can get what you need to know

To go stir crazy

I want you to be stark raving mad

So you’ll all know what it is to be

To be stir crazy

Let your mind go so free

Why don’t you come and go stir crazy with me
