Normal/Abnormal Blues (lyrics 1998)
I’m all alone
in my own little space
ain’t got no keys to get out
ain’t got no face
I’m rockin’ and reelin’
I’m bobbin’ and weavin’
it don’t look like I will soon be leavin’
my head is spinnin’ round and round
don’t know if I’m comin’ up
or if I’m going down
cryin’ and talkin’
to no one in particular
but everybody looks at me
like I’m so peculiar
I’m driftin’ and driftin’
gray clouds in my sky
oh doctor give me therapy
or a pill to get me high
nobody listens to me
they don’t hear my call
I feel like bangin’ my head on the wall
it’s all so frustratin’
nobody understands
why I spend hour after hour
just staring at my hands
but I ain’t doing nothin’
but mindin’ my own business
I don’t think I’m insane
I’m just crazy I guess
and I got this feelin’
it aint easy to lose
I’m locked in them normal/abnormal blues
so am I normal
or am I not
it’s impossible to know
from the feelin’ I got
my mind is so tired
I don’t want to think
I’ll know when it happens
if I swim or I sink
and I got this feelin’
it ain’t easy to lose
I’m locked in them normal/abnormal blues
