1. 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

R: 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

2. 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

R: People are crazy and times are strange...
   
3. 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
   Putting her in a wheel barrow and wheeling her down the street

R: People are crazy and times are strange...

4. 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 love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

   Mr. Jinx and Miss Lucy, they jumped in the lake
   I'm not that eager to make a mistake

R: People are crazy and times are strange...
