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-tinted skies
I’m well dressed, waiting on the last train
Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I’m expecting 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 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 passing through
( * )
I’ve been walking forty miles of bad road If the Bible is right, the world will explode
I’ve been trying 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
( * )
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
