Things Have Changed

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



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 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 wheelbarrow and wheeling 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 low down, gonna fly high

All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie

I’m in 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



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
