Things Have Changed

Worried woman with a worried mind

No one in front of me and nothing behind

Sittin' on a strange man's lap, drinkin' champagne

He's got light skin, and an assassin's eyes

I'm looking up into a sapphire tinted sky

I'm all dressed up; I'm waiting on the last train

Feel like I'm 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, and I'm way out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

Forty miles of bad road

If the bible is right, the whole damn world's gonna explode

I've been trying to get just as far away from myself as I can

Some things are too hot to touch

The human mind can only stand so much

You just can't win with a losing hand

Lotta water under the bridge

A lotta other stuff, too

Don't get up, gentlemen

I'm just passin' through

People are crazy; times are strange

I'm locked in tight, and I'm way out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

This place here ain't doing me no good

It's got me all fucked up

I should be in Hollywood

Just for a second there, I thought I saw somethin' move

Gonna take dancin' lessons, gonna learn the jitterbug rag

I ain't takin' no shortcuts, I might even dress in drag

Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

Feel like fallin' in love with the very next man I see

Grab him by the hand, and go runnin', ooh, down the street

People are crazy; times are strange

I'm locked in tight, and I'm way out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

Feel like fallin' in love with the very next man I meet

Grab him by the hand, and go runnin' down the street

People are crazy, and times are strange

I'm locked in tight, and I'm out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

I hurt easy, but I just don't show it

You can hurt somebody and not even know it

The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity

Gonna get low down, fly real high

All the truth in the world ain't nothin' but one big lie

I'm in love with a man that don't even appeal to me

Some folks would just go and jump in the lake

I ain't so eager to make that kinda mistake

People are crazy and times are strange

I'm locked in tight, but I'm way out of range

I used to care, but things have changed

Things have changed

Things have changed

Things have changed

Things have changed

Things have changed
