...But you try with your whole soul best
Never to think these thoughts and never to let
Them kind of thoughts gain ground or make yer heart pound
But then again you know why they're around
Just waiting for a chance to slip and drop down
"Cause sometimes you hear'em when the night times comes creeping
And you fear that they might catch you a-sleeping
And you jump from yer bed, from yer last chapter of dreamin'
And you can't remember for ...

My analyst told me
that I was right out of my head.

Joni Mitchell, 1974.

Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time,
To disgrace, distract, and bother me.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,
And the dust of rumors covers me.
But if the arrow is straight
And the point is slick,
It can pierce through dust no matter how thick.
So I'll make my stand
And remain as I am
And bid farewell and not give a damn.

Bob Dylan @ 1964
