words and music by Joe Jackson)



Chorus

Uptown - downtown

No one's fussy I'm a target

Black, white - day, night

No one's fussy I'm a target



Somebody say I'm crazy

Walking in this neighbourhood

Say you can't be too careful

But that won't do no good



I'm no one special

But any part of town

Someone could smile at me then

Shake my hand then gun me down



Chorus



Somebody say I'm crazy

Living in this crazy town

I say maybe you're just lazy

Got to either swim or drown



I know what i'm doing

I'm happy day to day

But then something happens

Takes my nerve away



Chorus
