Yeah, I can see it now The distant red neon shivered in the heat I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land You know where people play games with the night God, it was too hot to sleep
I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from a levee All of a sudden I could hear somebody whistling from right behind me I turned around and she said "Why do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe?" I said, "I don't know, the wind just kind of pushed me this way" She said, "Hang the rich"
Catch the blue train To places never been before Look for me Somewhere down the crazy river (Somewhere down the crazy river) Catch the blue train All the way to Kokomo You can find me Somewhere down the crazy river (Somewhere down the crazy river)
Take a picture of this The fields are empty, abandoned '59 Chevy Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John Yeah, that's when time stood still You know, I think I'm gonna go down to Madam X And let her read my mind She said, "That voodoo stuff don't do nothing for me"
I'm a man with a clear destination I'm a man with a broad imagination You fog the mind, you stir the soul I can't find, no control
Catch the blue train To places never been before Look for me Somewhere down the crazy river (Somewhere down the crazy river) Catch the blue train All the way to Kokomo You can find me Somewhere down the crazy river (Somewhere down the crazy river)
Wait, did you hear that Oh, this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me She said, "There's one thing you've got to learn Is not to be afraid of it" I said, "No, I like it, I like it, it's good" She said, "You like it now But you'll learn to love it later"
I been spellbound falling in trances I been spellbound falling in trances You give me shivers, chills and fever You give me shivers You give me shivers I been spellbound, I been spellbound I been spellbound somewhere down the crazy river Somewhere down the crazy river
