Out Of My Mind Composer(s): Dino Valenti Performer(s): Quicksilver
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
