  • I met my old lover
    On the street last night
    She seemed so glad to see me
    I just smiled
    And we talked about some old times
    And we drank ourselves some beers
    Still crazy after all these years
    Oh, still crazy after all these years

    I'm not the kind of man
    Who tends to socialize
    I seem to lean on old familiar ways
    And I ain't no fool for love songs
    That whisper in my ears
    Still crazy after all these years
    Oh, still crazy after all these years

    Four in the morning
    Crapped out
    Yawning
    Longing my life away
    I'll never worry
    Why should I?
    It's all gonna fade

    Now I sit by my window
    And I watch the cars
    I fear I'll do some damage
    One fine day
    But I would not be convicted
    By a jury of my peers
    Oh, still Crazy
    Still Crazy

  • Jules from OregonThere is a magic to this song. Reflections back on life. I feel this song in my bones right now.
  • Laurie from San FranciscoYou're not crazy. I'm pretty sure Paul sang "crapped out" when he sang this song at the Concert in Central Park.
  • Ken from Louisville, KyFor years I thought the lyric was "Four in the morning, crapped out, yawning". Then a few years ago I found out that the actual lyric was "tapped out".
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn December 6th, 1975, Paul Simon's fourth studio album, 'Still Crazy After All These Years', peaked at #1 (for 1 week) on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart...

  • Susan from Airdrie, -OMG, Rick Moranis did a hilarious, spot-on impersonation of Dick Cavett on SCTV! I used to watch the impersonation & laugh, not having seen Dick Cavett before, but now it's doubly hilarious!
