rodney crowell - i'm a mess lyrics

Loading...

once in a while i can feel the whole world spinning
my hair twist in the wind, i can’t find the brake
the clock on the dashboard is coiled like a snake

there’s years flying by me aand a wide open cliff
on wheels made of lightning, just barely a blip
if there’s room at the top for a loser, look out
the radio’s blasting a mean twist and shout

i’m a mess, at times like these
a man should take a blind-fold and smoke

take a walk, take a drive
take a kneel, take a dive
take a month, take a year
take a hike, disappear

take it on faith, whatever you get
you just close your eyes, it won’t hurt a bit
the firing squad’s gathered , the captain grins
all the change in my pocket won’t pay for my sins

i’m a mess, when i woke up
they’d strapped me in an mri

black dye in my veins, head velcro-ed down
foam happy slippers and a blue paper grown
the banging went on for an hour or more
then they slipped me out like a boat onto sh0r-

the technician with coffee was sporting a smile
that said, “god gave me wisdom but the devil’s got style”

i’m a mess, nothing less
i confess i’m a mess
now i live in ny
the babylon of neon fire

the rats on the third rail is smoking like char
the thunder storm hits and i flag down a car

on the screen in times square, i look like a wreck
and we lunge out of traffic tricking down through the spec
the hooded girl turns and says, “look at who’s alive”
i say, “boy you can’t scare me, just shut up and drive”

i’m a mess, oh god, yes
i confess, i’m a mess, i’m a mess
