Out Of My Mind

(альбом: Quicksilver - 1971)

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 that 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 that I saw her, she was trying 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
