Out of My Mind

Out of my mind, that's what she said to me, she was unkind, said I was crazy.

I thought that was cruel, she didn't know me at all,

What can you do when someone tells you you're insane?

She heard the news, knew all about me, I was too strange.

She could do very well without me, and I didn't cry, I tried to say hello.

But it makes you feel crazy when somebody calls you insane.

I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute,

But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do?

It pays to let her fly over to the table

Where the games were measured out in thin white lines.

The last time I saw her, she was stoned out of her mind,

How many minds had she sent spinning only to find they hadn't gone anywhere at all?

I said that was sad, she didn't understand

It hurts in your heart when somebody says you're insane.

I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute,

But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do?

It pays to let her fly over to the table

Where the games were measured out in thin white lines.

The last time I saw her she was tryin' to blow her mind,

What can you do when someone tells you you're insane? What can you do?

Stop for a while and listen, stop for a while and listen, and then some easy go your way.
