I'm Pilot and Jesus

And I wept when Lennon died

Yet I envied his assailant

When I visited the shrine

I cried for all those Beatle Fans

So old so quick they grow

I follow the example to destroy

What I love most



And I remain on the far side of crazy

I remain the mortal enemy of man

No hundred dollar cure will save me

Can't stay a boy in no man's land



I once hid my lust for stardom

Like a filthy magazine

I stroked the shaft on my guitar

And watched you on the screen

I've become now what I wanted

To be all along

A psychopathic poet

The Devil's bastard son



And I remain on the far side of crazy

I remain the mortal enemy of man

No hundred dollar cure will save me

Can't stay a boy in no man's land



I shot an actor for an actress

But he lived to make a joke

Shot two other men who could have been

The bodies of my folks

I stagger toward the future

I stagger day to day

Plot revenge inside of darkness

I am withering in pain



And I remain on the far side of crazy

I remain the mortal enemy of man

No hundred dollar cure will save me

Can't stay a boy in no man's land
