I Am Crazy - Mekons

I though I’d like to die where I was born

But I’ve been kicked out with no money

You said my voice sends shivers down (put splinters in) your spine

The sound of failure and cold water running

I tried to sleep but couldn’t in the storm

I called for you but knew you wouldn’t come

Send me a remedy for this thing I’m feeling

I just can’t sleep

Dreams black and blue I am crazy

Someday I know I’ll fly away just like a sparrow

At night I go and walk out in the fields

My singing even makes the stones cry

I know you’ll come back when you’ve had enough to eat

(you'll) hold me close like you might kill me

With a gun or a knife or a whip or a stone

Bury me with five hundred others

But in the evening I’ll still stand at your gate

You’ll (just) see me and turn away
