Lyrics

(First release, live version, 2000, portsmouth, england)

One two three four…

I'm a worried man, got a worried mind
No one in front of me, no one 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, 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'm trying to get as far away from myself as I can
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, they jumped in the lake
I'm not that eager, 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
