Wall Of Voodoo - Far Side of Crazy lyrics

rate me

I'm Pilate and Jesus

And I wept when Lennon died

Yet I envied his assailant

When I visited the shrine

I cried for all those Beatle Fans

So old so quick they grow

I follow the example to destroy

What I love most

And I remain on the far side of crazy

I remain the mortal enemy of man

No hundred dollar cure will save me

Can't stay a boy in no man's land

I once hid my lust for stardom

Like a filthy magazine

I stroked the shaft on my guitar

And watched you on the screen

I've become now what I wanted

To be all along

A psychopathic poet

The Devil's bastard son

And I remain on the far side of crazy

I remain the mortal enemy of man

No hundred dollar cure will save me

Can't stay a boy in no man's land

I shot an actor for an actress

But he lived to make a joke

Shot two other men who could have been

The bodys of my folks

I stagger toward the future

I stagger day to day

Plot revenge inside of darkness

I am withering in pain

And I remain on the far side of crazy

I remain the mortal enemy of man

No hundred dollar cure will save me

Can't stay a boy in no man's land
