O Crazy One

I spent a summer With you, and I'm spent I did your bidding And it did me in You are a joke That I was too scared to laugh at So I bowed my head Cringed within Ran around till I ran Out of my mind Baffled why I could never Get it right So toxic your love So fatal your rules I turn around What do I find You know just what you're doing But you don't know what you've done With your hands around my throat Telling me to speak O crazy one The death of another sun Stargazing into you I find You're several light years behind And you're the one That needs to run Like a twisted child with a fish You threw me in water So you could let me swim Only to pull me out And plunge me in again And out and in Out and in Like a whirlwind that won't stop Like a roller coaster With the purpose to shock So nauseas your ride Your speed so cruel Oh, the merry-go-round Broke down and dropped I know just what I'm saying And I know what I should've said Should've left the trance But I was still asleep So instead Tied to my bed With eyes closed I sweat and tossed Like a piece of lamb In burning broth I'd lost my head My vision dead Now you are long, long gone And today I'm on top of a mountain I built along the way You're still a joke but now you're Too small to laugh at You self-limiting, momentary ache You've gone down In history as a crook You've made it to the cases Of a diagnostic textbook Pressed between the leaves You rot in despair I flip to the next page After one last look So everything you foretold Turned out so out of line You said I would spend the Rest of my days in misery Oh me, oh my Well isn't it a surprise Finally you have your wish So you can tell your grandkids That you're immortalised In rhyme
