You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
When you look into my eyesAnd you see the crazy gypsy in my soulIt always comes as a surpriseWhen I feel my withered roots begin to growWell I never had a place that I could call my very ownThat's all right, my love, 'cause you're my home
Most people you'd tell "I'm gonna be a musician," they'd say, "you're crazy, you're gonna starve, you're gonna be poor, a drug addict, go to jail, you'll never make it, there's too much competition, it's a terrible business," etc. But my chorus teacher in high school said, "you've got what it takes to be a really good professional musician, you should consider it." That was an epiphany for me. So I thought, well, maybe I can help somebody, too.
As human beings, we need to know that we are not alone, that we are not crazy or completely out of our minds, that there are other people out there who feel as we do, live as we do, love as we do, who are like us.
My friends and I are crazy. That's the only thing that keeps us sane!
you may be right, I may be crazy, but it just might be a lunatic you're looking for
You should never argue with a crazy mind, you ought to know my now.
Slow down, you crazy child.You're so ambitious for a juvenile.
If I'm crazy then it's true That it's all because of you And you wouldn't want me any other way.
Why should I worry? Why should I care?There's just this street population, and I've got 'street savoir-faire'.
I definitely prefer being a lover than a fighter.
Water has an endless horizon; there is no limitation when you look out into the water. There's nothing to interfere with the mind's eye projecting itself as far as it can possibly imagine. I suppose it's the same way people in the Midwest feel about watching amber waves of grain or endless rows of cornfields. There is something exhilarating about it.
You better believe there will be times in your life when you'll be feeling like a stumbling fool. So take it from me: you'll learn more from your accident than anything that you could ever learn in school.
You can't dress trashy 'til you spend a lot of money.
