I think I was born crazy,
'cause things have always
looked different to me,
I've never been able to understand it.
When I tried to explain my feelings,
people would look at me bewildered,
shake their heads in astonishment
& say I was like that character
in that Zevon-song,
the one who bit the usherette's leg
in the dark,
ruined the *** roast,
killed his girlfriend
& made a cage
out of her bones.

Well, I'm really not that excitable,
no way I'd do those things,
I don't feel that way.

Like I said,
I think I'm crazy
& see just see things differently.

Or maybe,
I just see things differently
& I'm not crazy.

Perhaps,
I'm just like you,
& that's just a song.

And after reading you,
that may be it,
I'm not an excitable boy,
they had me all wrong.
