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
