this is a collection of moments and comments from some who have claimed to love me and those who acted like they did. my goofing off in the car included things like trying to see how far i could drive with my eyes closed. crazy high beams included some hand rails and six inch platform heels - not at the same time.
recorded live in an auditorium in front of about 4 people who were there to crew and made a wonderful audience.
lyrics
he likes me because i'm crazy
yeah, i am totally insane
i say and do mostly - only - odd things
that no one else can quite explain
let's be clear now, i'm not stupid
nor am i foolish, nor am i inane
and it's common knowledge that brilliant people
tend to prefer crazy to the plain
he likes me because i'm crazy
yeah, i know, i know that's why he does
the more i'm crazy, the more he likes me
at the rate i'm going, he'll soon be in love
he's amused by the way that i'll start dancing
and it doesn't matter where we are
takes years off of his life, but he finds it thrilling
the way that i will goof off in the car
keeps him sleepless but he's fascinated
by my nightmares - they're bizarre
and he follows all my crazy daydreams
'cause he says the crazy ones go far
he likes me because i'm crazy
yeah, i know, i know that's why he does
the more i'm crazy, the more he likes me
at the rate i'm going, he'll soon be in love
i watch commercials upside down
i pretend that i have an accent so i can pretend i'm out of town
it makes me sneeze for hours
but i always stop and smell all the flowers
and sometimes i see sound
he likes me because i'm crazy
yeah, that's why he does
the more i'm crazy, the more he likes me
at the rate i'm going, he's in love
he holds me when i have terrors
like the heads that float in the fountain and scream
and he calms me with quiet wisdom
gives to me a better waking dream
and he loves me, strong and tender,
with a feeling that flows from him like a stream
and he stands by ready steady
as i step up on my crazy high beam
he loves me because i'm crazy
yeah, everybody knows that's why he does
the more he loves me, the more i'm crazy
at the rate we're going,
we'll soon both be crazy in love
yeah at the rate it's going
