Temporarily Insane - Delbert McClinton, Self-Made Men

Temporarily insane

Is this life I live in vain

Sometime I catch me talking to myself

Can anybody hear

These voices in my ear

Telling me I’m going down the drain

I used to have a mind

But now it’s gone, gone‚ gone

Everything I thought was right

Went wrong‚ wrong‚ wrong

Sometimes I like to just go out walking in the rain

Could this mean I’m temporarily insane?

Temporarily insane

Fooled me once again

I never should have taken my advice

When push comes to shove

Too much ain’t enough

Somebody’s gonna have to pay the price

I used to have a mind

But now it’s gone, gone, gone

Everything I thought was right

Went wrong

Sometimes I like to just go out walking in the rain

Could it be I’m temporarily insane?

Temporarily insane

I go back there now and then

And rummage through the ashes and decay

I bump into myself

And I cried out for help

But I smiled‚ shook my head, walked away

I used to have a mind

But now it’s gone, gone‚ gone

Some things I thought were right

Went wrong, wrong, wrong

Sometimes I like to just go walking in the rain

Could it be, I’m temporarily insane?
