Think about the depth, the poignancy of the lyrics to ^ that ^. Powerful.
Every time I hear it, I can't help but think of the ancient Greek tale of Orpheus and Eurydice; and on a more contemporary level, the 1978 Richard Matheson novel What Dreams May Come (which was made into a 1998 film starring Robin Williams and Annabella Sciorra).
"In a church by the face
He talks about the people going under
Only child know
A man decides after seventy years
That what he goes there for
Is to unlock the door
While those around him criticize and sleep
And through a fracture on that breaking wall
I see you my friend and touch your face again
Miracles will happen as we trip
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Crazy crazy crazy
Crazy
Are the people walking through my head?
One of them's got a gun to shoot the other one
And yet together they were friends at school
Get it, get it, get it, yeah!
If all were there when we first took the pill
Then maybe then maybe then maybe then maybe
Miracles will happen as we speak
But we're never gonna survive unless
We get a little crazy
No we're never gonna survive unless
We are a little
Crazy
No no!
We'll never survive unless we get a little bit
Crazy
A man decides to go along after seventy years
Oh darling!
In a sky full of people only some want to fly:
Isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people only some want to fly:
Isn't that crazy
Crazy!
In a heaven of people there's only some want to fly:
Ain't that crazy?
Oh babe!
Oh darlin'!
In a world full of people there's only some want to fly:
Isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy?
Isn't that crazy
Oh!
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy
But we're never gonna survive unless we get a little crazy crazy
No we're never gonna to survive unless we are a little crazy
No no! Never survive unless we get a little bit
Crazy
And then you see things
The size of which you've never known before
They'll break it
Some day
Only child know
Them things
The size
Of which you've never known before
Some day"
