"music is what life sounds like"

never thought i'd admit this, but music fills the gaps where my words are meant to be. some days i've strings of words entangled, other days i've got clouds of imagery, but today i've tunes twirling around my mind.

(all following credits go to The Addams Family)

i'm being pulled in a new direction,
but i think i like it. i think i like it.

  they're normal people
not like you, not like me
please can't we be an average family!

who cares about the world outside
and what it wants from you

i'm crazier than you
and nothing up til now has proved me wrong
i'm crazier than you
that's just the overview
so get on board or simply move along

one normal night
that's all I want
that's all I need from you

i'm crazier than you
i'm crazier than you
and now i'll prove to you exactly how
i'm crazier than you

 you must admit we aren't what people call "laid back"
so can't we muse a bit and lose the basic black?

i'm being pulled in a new direction,
but this feeling, i know is impossible, 
so i'll confide that i've tried but i can't let it go.

i'm crazier than you, i'm crazier than you
and nothing hurts me when i hear you say
i'm crazier than you, psychotically into
and that is all i need to face the day
i'm crazier than you, i'm crazier than you
and live or die i'll let you have control
i'm crazier than you, so say you love me too
from here on in you're singing to my soul

you're obligated to the clan
it's family first and family last
and family by and by
 
if they keep insisting, i'll stop resisting.
just watch me pulled in a new direction.

 (here goes my own feeble attempt)
life is not a single frame,
it's many frames to form a motion.
music is not just stand-alone words,
it's many words strung to form a tune.
