A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a woman on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last trainStanding on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loosePeople are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changedThis place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to proveLotta water under the bridge, lotta other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing throughPeople are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changedI've been walking forty miles of bad road
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can
Some things are too hot to touch
The human mind can only stand so much
You can't win with a losing handFeel like falling in love with the first woman I meet
Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the streetPeople are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changedI hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can hurt someone and not even know it
The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity
Gonna get lowdown, gonna fly high
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
I'm love with a woman who don't even appeal to meMr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager to make a mistakePeople are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
