Pantoumic Schizophrenia

Some say I'm crazy.
I disagree.
So what if I speak to myself?
Sometimes I'm the only one who'll listen.

I disagree.
Who are you??
Sometimes I'm the only one who'll listen.
Is there another mind in mine?

Who are you??
I'm the one talking with myself.
Is there another mind in mine?
Something like that, I'm sure.

I'm the one talking with myself.
Perhaps we're talking with ourselves.
Something like that, I'm sure.
Well, this is certainly confusing.

Perhaps we're talking with ourselves.
You're echoing me, friend.
Well, this is certainly confusing.
Indeed.

You're echoing me, friend.
Ah, if you say so.
Indeed.
Right. One of us must be a puppet.

Ah, if you say so.
Someone must be pulling the strings here.
Right. One of us must be a puppet.
But which side of the mirror?

Someone must be pulling the strings here.
There's only two of us.
But which side of the mirror?
It's one or the other.

There's only two of us.
Now you've got it.
It's one or the other.
Absolutely.

Now you've got it.
Who's on first?
Absolutely.
No, it's ... never mind.

"Who's on first"?
You don't know about that?
No, it's ... never mind.
Perhaps I can go mad without knowing it.

You don't know about that?
I'm sure I do.
Perhaps I can go mad without knowing it.
No, I do not suffer from insanity.

I'm sure I do.
Perhaps I am going mad and don't know it.
No, I do not suffer from insanity.
I enjoy every minute of it.
