Okay, that must be sort of like the reworking I did of "Almost Like Being in
Love" where it was "Almost Like Being Insane." I still remember the words,
which were written right after breaking up with a real jerk of a guy.
What a strange place this is,
What an odd mood I'm in,
Why, it's almost like being insane.
All the laughs of the world seem to be
A bad joke someone's playing on me.
And from the way that I squirm
When his face starts to turn
You can tell that I'm being
I know that I'm screaming
I know that I'm going insane.
Yeah, bad lyrics, but I was 15! :)
