The Stable Song

Now I've been crazy couldn't you tell

I threw stones at the stars but the whole sky fell

Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table

Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable



That tall grass grows high and brown

Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground

And you sent me back to where I roam

Well I cursed and I cried but now I know

Now I know



And I ran back to that hollow again

The moon was just a silver back then

And I ached for my heart like some tin man

When it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang

Oh its ringing



Ring like crazy ring like hell

Turn me back into that wild haired gale

Ring like silver, ring like gold

Turn these diamonds straight back into coal
