Well I'm still here
But I'm so scared
Got myself in trouble, so much trouble
I know I've got to make it
But I just can't take New York
I just can't take New York
My middle name is fear
I have a vacant stare
And it's been so long since my body's been warm
I know I've got to make it
But I just can't take New York
I just can't take New York
I came here
All dreams and wide eyes in the big, big city
No family, no money
And I don't even know what's hit me (hit me) (New York)
Every street and every corner
Watch them drowning
Watch them do the crazyman dance
(Crazyman dance) watch them do the crazyman dance
Men and women to the slaughter
We just stand and watch them
Do the crazyman dance
(Crazyman dance) watch them do the crazyman dance
It's been one whole year
And it's just not fair
For all the pushing and shoving
I've still got nothing
I'm never gonna make it
And I'm stuck here in New York
Stuck here in New York
So people don't come near
Unless you've a dollar to spare
'Cause you know what they say
About madmen on the subways of New York
New York, believe it (believe it)
Yesterday's newspapers
I wrap them around my body
Outside these skyscrapers
I wait for the night to hit me
And boy, does it hit me
Just like your Ma, just like your Pa
Just like someone you used to know
Every street and every corner
Watch them drowning
Watch them do the crazyman dance
(Crazyman dance) watch them do the crazyman dance
For a nickel or a quarter
For your pleasure
Watch them do the crazyman dance
(Crazyman dance) watch them do the crazyman dance
I'm coming to London
I'm coming to Paris
I'm coming to make you good clean people embarra**ed
Why don't you look at my face
Why don't you look in my eyes
You'd rather look at your feet
You'd rather look at the skies
Oh, you'd look anywhere
But at a man whose pure existence
Says 'I ain't got time'
And I don't care
I don't care
You just don't care
Care
Don't worry about it man
God is crazy
Crazy, crazy
Crazy
