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 tempered skies

I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

Standin' on the gallows with my head in the 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 out of range

I used to care but - things have changed.

This place ain't doin' me any good

I'm in the wrong town, I should've been in Hollywood

Just for a second there I thought I saw something move

Gonna take dancin' lessons, do the jitterbug rag

Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag

Only a fool in here would think he got anythin' to prove

Lotta water under the bridge, lotta other stuff too

Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

People are crazy and times are strange

I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range

I used to care but - things have changed.

I've been walkin' forty miles of bad road

If the Bible is right the world will explode

I'm tryin' 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 hand

Feel like falling in love with the first woman I meet

Puttin' her in a wheelbarrow and wheelin' her down the street

People are crazy and 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 lowdown, 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 a lake

I'm not that eager to make a mistake

People are crazy and times are strange

I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range

I used to care but - things have changed
