Desperate me with a slayer's eyes
No one in my headlight and nothing behind
There's a black witch on my lap and she's drinking champagne
She got white skin, and assassin's eyes
I'm staring up into her sapphire skies
Dressed to kill, waiting for a train
Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Every desperate second I expect 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 times have changed
The path I took didn't do no good
Can't get no ride out of Hollywood
And all these failed actors got me in a bad mood
Gonna hop in my Honda on Grapevine road
Like an ever-ending story never been told
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Lotta whisky under the bridge, lotta other junk too
Don't stand up your honor, I'm just passing through
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but times have changed
I've been walking forty miles of dead end road
If the bible is right, devil gonna shoot his last load
I've been trying to get as far away from me as I can
Some friendships 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 Juliet
Lay me down beside her feeling her waking breath
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but times have changed
I hurt easy, I just don't show it
You can kill someone and not even know it
The next forty years could be like an eternity
Gonna get stupid, gonna fly low
All the truth in the world adds up to no one knows
I wait for my reflection to turn into me
The line it's been drawn the curse it's cast
The first one now will later be last
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but times have changed
