I'm 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 train. Standin' on the gallows with my head in a noose Any minute now I'm expectin' all hell to break loose. People are crazy and times are strange I'm locked in tight, I'm outta range I used to care, but things have changed.
This 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 prove. Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff too Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through. People are crazy, times are strange I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range I used to care, but things have changed
I'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 losin' hand. Feel like fallin' in love with the first woman I meet Puttin' her in a wheel barrow, wheelin' her down the street. People are crazy, times are strange I'm locked 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 sixty seconds could be like an eternity. Gonna get low down, gonna fly high All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie I'm in love with a woman that don't even appeal to me. Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake I'm not that eager to make a mistake. People are crazy, times are strange I'm locked in tight, I'm outta range I used to care, but things have changed.
