Lyrics

I had a dream. jus' the other night
'bout a man who was blessed
with a second site,
And with eyes so deep, you would think
you could dive into his soul.

He was a fearless, homeless
long haired dude,
with open-toed boots and a linen suit,
And he lived a life, some might think
would surely take its toll.

And as he mingled with the social dregs,
night time ladies and the IRS,
somewhere in the quietness,
I could hear him say:

Papa, They say I'm crazy
Even mama thinks, that I've gone
and lost my sanity.

You've always been, my pride and joy,
guiding me since I was a boy
with a bright, piercing light
only the blind can see,
Papa, they say I'm crazy.

Out on the corner of Temple and Main,
I soaked it in as he braved the rain.
how he told the crowd, the story 'bout
The Lion and the Sword.

But they all claimed
that he broke the law,
they couldn't see what
this troubadour saw, cuz
he could look right through, deep into
the heart of their reward.

And when they called the state
he slipped away, sayin'
I'll be back another day,
then somewhere in a hidden place,
I could hear him say:

Papa, They say I'm crazy
Even mama thinks, that I've gone
and lost my sanity.

You've always been, my pride and joy,
guiding me since I was a boy
with a bright, piercing light
only the blind can see,
Papa, they say I'm crazy,
Pap, they say I'm crazy
