Not too crazy, but crazy enough
Sift one cup folk, one cup R&B, one cup blues, one tablespoon jazz. Mix in spirit of Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen, and Greg Brown. Add to taste: dry humor, faith against odds, bloody heartbreak. Bake 5o-some years in hard knocks oven. Add spark of Goddess. Serve with acoustic guitar and baritone vocals.
Lyrics
How Crazy Are You?
In a crazy world where everyone’s strange
It’s weird to be normal, it’s sick not to change
If you’re looking for love, what’s the best you can find?
You want some surprises, but not the lunatic kind
Excitement, adventure, not hysterics and trauma
Can’t live on TV, too much psychodrama
Chorus:
Not too crazy, but crazy enough
Not too smooth, I like the edges rough
Over the top, but not off the edge
Roped to the mountain, but still out on a ledge
Don’t send me no bimbo, no proper southern belle
Don’t lock me in the bedroom with the psychobitch from hell
Paranoid, loco, neurotic, or crazy
Boring, dreary, average, and lazy
If those are my choices I just won’t choose
I can watch from the sidelines, I can live with these blues
Chorus
Your history’s showing, no way to disguise,
Mine’s out there too, I see it through your eyes
Well, I can live with your past if it’s not psychopathic
If you’ll forget I was Mormon, I’ll pretend you’re not Catholic
Just overlook mine, and I’ll try to ignore yours
Don’t judge by my rap sheet, I won’t judge by your scars
Chorus
Is it trouble you’re in? Or is trouble your name?
Is it anguish or passion? What’s the source of your flame?
I’m in love, I’m in danger, horse behind cart
I’d sell you my soul to save my heart
Mistakes were made, but today’s a new chance
No fear, no regrets, take a deep breath and dance
