Last Thursday (Call Me Crazy)

Carolyn Arends


I think it was last Thursday - I went to see my friend 
We drank some Coca Cola, we laughed a while and then 
We dove into philosophy and politics and sin 
The way we do 
He told me he'd been looking the cold truth in the eyes 
He told me my religion was wishing in disguise 
He said "The only Savior is the one inside your mind" 
And I said "if that's true 
Then you can 

CHORUS: 
Call me crazy 'cause I don't want to live that way 
Call me lazy - I don't want to work that hard 
Call me crazy, but I don't think that I can save myself 

You see I've read a thousand pages on how to help myself 
To a thousand different ways to perfect mental health 
And I swear I've tried them all and I'm still needing something else 
And I think you are too 
So you can 

CHORUS 

And furthermore I still believe in what I cannot see or touch 
Crazy things like dreams and prayers and faith and hope and love 
And I know a life without these things is not a life at all 
So you can call it sanity but then you'll have to call me crazy 

CHORUS
