Lyrics

Why am I smiling on the inside?
Why am I crying on the roadside?
Why am I thinking of the darkside?

I couldn't see the signs. Right out of my mind.
Everything was fine. Wrong place, wrong time.
Strayed off the right line. Wasn't such a crime.
Now I'm going crazy, she's a careless lady.

Then I started screaming. Maybe I was dreaming?
Couldn't find the feeling. Didn't know the meaning.
Then I started singing. Dancing on the ceiling...
Everything is hazy, she's a careless lady.

Why am I screaming on the outside?
Why am I crying on the roadside?
Why am I reaching for the far side?

I couldn't see the signs. Right out of my mind.
Everything was fine. Wrong place, wrong time.
Strayed off the right line. Wasn't such a crime.
Now I'm going crazy, she's a careless lady.

Then I started screaming. Maybe I was dreaming?
Couldn't find the feeling. Didn't know the meaning.
Then I started singing. Dancing on the ceiling...
Everything is hazy, she's a careless lady.

Oh baby please....I'm down on my knees...

i tried to do it my way, lying on the highway.
Wishing it was pay-day, issuing a may-day.
Looking on the brightside.
Sitting on my backside.
Just a simple bike ride.
Could have nearly died.

I couldn't see the signs. Right out of my mind.
Everything was fine. Wrong place, wrong time.
Strayed off the right line. Wasn't such a crime.
Now I'm going crazy, she's a careless lady.

Then I started screaming. Maybe I was dreaming?
Couldn't find the feeling. Didn't know the meaning.
Then I started singing. Dancing on the ceiling...
Everything is hazy, she's a careless lady.

Why?
Don't know why.
Tell me why.
Don't know why.
