[Verse 1]
It's crazy, isn’t it?
How much they call you crazy
And it may be figurative
It's just they called my mother crazy

[Verse 2]
It just rolls off the tongue
And you swear that you don't even mean it as an insult
But you can go where you want
And I can’t

[Verse 3]
It's got to the point where I'm not destroyed
At least not quite like I used to be
It hits me in waves, and it spits in my face
And I say "thank you" and go back to sleep

[Chorus]
And you ask me how I always do that
I said "I guess I've always had the practice"
But if I can only go and do that
Without placing my body on the mattress

[Bridge]
Post-modern art, Kaiser hospital parking lot
Rose, corner shot, on a TV that no one saw
[Chorus]
And you ask me how I always do that
I said "I guess I've always had the practice"
But if I can only go and do that
Without placing my body on the mattress

[Outro]
It would change my life
It would change my life
