Crazy Man Dance

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 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 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 He hasn't seen a doctor Since he got here in the spring Went to the Medicentre But they wouldn't let him in Without a green card Life can be so hard Take pity on a man without a home of his own How could he ever have known? Every street and every corner Watch them drowning Watch them do the Crazyman Dance Men and Women to the slaughter We just stand and 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 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 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 Every street and every corner Watch them drowning Watch them do the Crazyman Dance For a nickel or a quarter For your pleasure 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 embarrassed 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
