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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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.
