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
