I'd Rather Go Insane
Love's Madness Unleashed: Rhino Bucket's Blues Revelry
Lyrics
Back stabbin', two timing woman of mine
Feeling betrayed by a deceitful and unfaithful woman
Said baby won't you face the truth
Asking the woman to acknowledge the reality of the situation
Don't need no woman, just need a band
Expressing a preference for a musical career over a relationship
So you can play your blues
Encouraging the woman to play her sad songs
Mini skirt, high heels, lookin' so fine
Describing the woman's appearance in attractive clothing
Baby won't you give me a call
Requesting the woman to contact him
She rang me up, I took her down
She called him, and they engaged in a sexual encounter
Heh, heh, heh...ball
Implies satisfaction or triumph after the encounter
I'd rather go insane, than to lose you lady
Prefer to lose sanity than to lose the woman
I'd rather go insane, than to lose you honey
Reiterating the preference to remain insane rather than losing her
I'd rather go insane, than abuse you baby
Prefer to go insane than to mistreat her
I'd rather go insane
Emphasizing the intensity of the feeling
My place, your place, scene of the crime
Referencing places where they were together, possibly hinting at infidelity
Well honey it don't matter that much
Implying the location or circumstances are insignificant
Turn out the light, show me your love
Asking for intimacy despite the situation
You've got a deadly touch
Describing her touch as dangerously appealing
Daddy came, so did I, call me a cab
Referencing an arrival and a need to leave quickly
Sherriff man put me in jail
Being arrested by the sheriff
I called my lawyer, he called the judge
Seeking legal help after the arrest
Ain't got no money for bail
Lamenting a lack of money for bail
(Chorus)
Repeating the chorus, expressing the preference to go insane rather than losing her
I'd rather go insane
Reiteration of the preference to go insane over losing her
I'd rather go insane
Expressing frustration that she's causing madness
You're driving me insane
Confirming the state of being insane
I'm insane
Reiterating the impact she has on his sanity
You're driving me insane
Reaffirming the impact she has on driving him insane
You're driving me insane
Repetition of how she drives him to insanity
