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.
