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.

They Had Me All Wrong (I'm Not An Excitable Boy)
