Diane
When I was young and in high school, I used to walk to school with a group of friends. Old lady Diane lived on the way, and she was definitely an eccentric piece of work. She was really nice, but also very odd and would say the most random things. I guess most people have their own version of "Diane" that they've met in life. This is just a song dedicated to her beautiful weirdness.

Wunschliste
Half a measure, quarter whole
Nine yards and a mile to go
I'll get there soon after I leave
Sunset at two past noon
To light the dark side of the moon
Go ask Diane if you don't believe
(Chorus)
She spoke with a silent tongue
And woke them trawlers up
Now they're drinking coffee and baiting hooks
It's breakfast time, who's got an egg
Playing hopscotch with one leg
The floating man, hey, I think he cheats
The TV turned on by itself
One channel, it won't play much else
But Diane just listens while she eats
(Chorus)
She yelled out with her mouth full
Said it's rude to chew your food
So the boys swallowed and damn near choked
Sidewalk in the middle of the road
Least I've heard that's what it's called
Can't wait 'til I'm older, with wings to fly
Greener grass is muddy still
On the dry side of the hill
But Diane ain't the type to ask why
(Chorus)
She got home, kicked off her boots
Underneath, no socks but shoes
And man you've never seen such tiny feet
Alarm clock helps me get to sleep
Subtracting rings and adding beeps
But you don't know the science of that
I think the river might just be a creek
Hell, I've seen bigger things to stream
Diane said still-water proves the world is flat
(Chorus)
And she plays a guitar upside-down
E was E and much too loud
But I think it sounds like a violin
To come or go gets the same wave
All hands are still hands while you stay
These Indian customs, a foreign thing
Holding ice too long it burns
Heal the wound and make it hurt
Diane says just tough out the pain
(Chorus)
And if crazy is as crazy does
It acts that way 'cause just because
Some questions, you can't find an answer to
