SONG: Crazy Wife
(Duke)
 
i'm in love with my wife though she's just a bit crazy.
she really can't help the condition she's in.
i've tried her on medicines, doctors, and psychics,
but none of them understand just where she's been.
 
oh my crazy wife..
oh my crazy wife..
 
she thinks angels are with us and so are the faeries.
she sees them at night time while dreaming among them.
she wonders sometimes why they never do show themselves
during her walks through garden alone.
 
she says "do you believe me?"  i say "no, of course not."
i don't believe stories of angels and such.
she tells me i'm boring, she tells me i'm simple.
i tell her i've never believed in too much.
 
oh my crazy wife..
oh my crazy wife..
 
so my crazy wife wanders 'round talking to angels,
and meanwhile the neighbor kids listen like thieves.
she asks why they're laughing, she asks why i doubt her.
i tell her it's just not my way to believe.
 
and tonight we're together and we're making love,
and we're happy and warm and i tell her good night.
as she drifts off to sleep, she says "we're not alone here",
and wide awake, i wish i thought she was right.
 
oh my crazy wife..
oh my crazy wife..
 
but later that night as i walk through the garden,
i see things that only a fool would mistake.
i see angels and faeries out there in the garden.
i pinch myself twice, but i know i'm awake.
 
she says "tell me you saw them!"  i say "no, of course not."
she says "lies mean nothing to the angels above."
i say "come dear, you know me, i've always been honest."
she says "yes i know you, you're lying, my love."
 
oh my crazy wife..
oh my crazy life..
