Intro

x2

Verse 1

Look at me

I'm happy as can be

About the air in my lungs

And the stories I've spun

About being satisfied

Most of the time

Listening to the wind and the rain

Always wondering

Chorus

Why does everybody run away

Tell me, tell me

When will I get myself straight

Help me, help me

Verse 2

"Cos the good people I know

They come and they go

Talking 'bout hospitals

Making room for criminals

And they look at me

They think I'm mad as can be

'Cos I got a criminal inside

That I just can't hide

And I'm frustrated

I try to medicate it

But nothing's as strong

As the damage I've done

Chorus

Why does everybody run away

Tell me, tell me

When will I get myself straight

Help me, help me

Bridge

'Cos I live alone

With a criminal

I live alone

Chorus x2

Why does everybody run away

Tell me, tell me

When will I get myself straight

Help me, help me

Outro

'Cos my house ain't a home

'Cos I'm living alone

With a criminal
