"Temporarily Insane" lyrics - DELBERT MCCLINTON

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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?
