I know this respectable individual with a great personality Struggles on the inside A really nice guy, but I'm afraid he lacks conviction Got these mental reservations concerning his own life, let alone Why? He doesn't know why Guess I'm lookin' for some changes for My lunatic friend You see, he's been accosted by the local Self-righteous vigilantes In the name of God, with a Scripture or two And he believes, but he's not sure who his friends are Or if they'd still be hangin' around with him Boy, if they ever really knew Guess I'm lookin' for some understanding For my lunatic friend Sometimes I wonder if there's any help For my lunatic friend Yeah, sometimes I cry for the love he's abusing My lunatic friend Lookin' for a healing for a lunatic Say, I've got this lunatic friend Altogether now, with feeling, once more, Shall we sing I've got this lunatic friend I've got this lunatic friend! Be careful what you say, who you say it to Don't give yourself away Now there's an attractive inner circle in the eye Of a hurricane A kind of peace on the inside But it moves with the storm And it's a quiet strength in the midst of this raging desperation All around me I'd like to find But I find myself torn I'm not lookin' for me, you understand It's for my lunatic friend Sometimes I wonder if there's any help For my lunatic friend
