A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothin' behind
There's a woman on my Ieft and she's
Drinkin' champagne
Got white skin Got assassin's eyes
I'm Iookin' up into the sapphire-tinted skies
I'm weII-dressed
Waitin' on the Iast train
Standin' on the gaIIows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting aII heII
To break Ioose
PeopIe are crazy and times are strange
I'm Iocked in tight I'm out of range
I used to care, but
Things have changed
This pIace isn't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town I shouId be in HoIIywood
Justfor a second there, I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing Iessons
Do thejitterbug rag
Isn't no shortcuts Gonna dress in drag
OnIy a fooIin here wouId think he's got anything to prove
Lot ofwater under the bridge
Lot ofother stufftoo
Don't get up, gentIe men I'm onIy
Passin' through
PeopIe are crazy and times are strange
I'm Iocked in tight I'm out of range
I used to care, but
Things have changed
I've been waIkin' 40 miIes of bad road
Ifthe BibIe is right the worId wiII expIode
I've been trying to get as far away from my seIf
As I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can onIy stand so much
You can't win
With a Iosing hand
FeeI Iike faIIing in Iove
With the fiirst woman I meet
Putting her in a wheeI barrow
And wheeIing her down the street
PeopIe are crazy and times are strange
I'm Iocked in tight I'm out of range
I used to care, but
Things have changed
I hurt easy
I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next 60 seconds couId be Iike an eternity
Gonna get I own down
Gonna fly high
AII the truth in the worId adds up to one big Iie
I'm in Iove with a woman who don't even appeaI to me
Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy theyjumped in the Iake
I'm not that eager to make a mistake
PeopIe are crazy and times are strange
I'm Iocked in tight I'm out of range
I used to care, but
Things have changed
