I go crazy, fucking crazy
Sitting around in the same old room
And when tomorrow comes, I will be gone
I'll be working 'til the afternoon
I rode the cyclone, I rode the shockwave
I found my heart inside my chest
And I was so surprised to be alive, I couldn't wait around and rest
Shining out ahead just a little bit further on
Draws me like a moth, the light of the lost
I go crazy, fucking crazy
Thinking about all the doom
And when tomorrow comes, I'll say I'm done
Drinking 'til the afternoon
Shining out ahead just a little bit further on
Draws me like a moth, the light of the lost
I'll follow it, I guess, but what the cost
I have a black cat
Send me a ...
Cause I put a match to every fuse
And when they flash the ..., it's a beautiful thing
They always know what to do
I go crazy, fucking crazy
Worrying away at what it means
When all I need's some firecrackers
To blow it all to smithereens
