If you want to have some fun read the lyrics of any song by the band America. It makes sense for a short while, then veers off to crazy town.

America could write great melodies but obviously lyricists they were not. I think a lot of their lyrics were just nonsense phrases made up to fit the melodies. For instance, here's a head scratching lyric from "Tin Man":

"And Cause never was the reason for the evening
Or the tropic of Sir Galahad..."

Even my favorite song from them ("Sister Golden Hair") had them: "Well, I keep on thinkin' 'bout you, Sister Golden Hair surprise..."

That said, I do appreciate the songs.
