Lyrics
HOW BAD OFF CRAZY AM I?
Words and Music by Arnold Patton and Ron Patton
VERSE # 1:
Staring in a mirror cracked
That face I don't quite remember
He looks like me -
But maybe I'm only dreaming
Verse # 1 Pre-Chorus:
I thought I was the God of Thunder
But I'm just a hapless blunder
Lying face down on my shield
There ain't nothing left for me to feel
CHORUS:
HOW BAD OFF CRAZY
HOW BAD OFF CRAZY AM I
To have lived such a lie?
When I thought I was this
But I really was that
Now the wheels on my world have all gone flat
HOW BAD OFF CRAZY
HOW BAD OFF CRAZY AM I?
HOW BAD OFF CRAZY
HOW BAD OFF CRAZY AM I?
VERSE # 2:
Living on a razor's edge
Something that I do for pleasure
I'm color blind
To the danger signs that should scare me
Verse # 2 Pre-Chorus:
I thought I could control the static
But I fell beneath the traffic
Drowning deep in broken dreams
There ain't no one left to rescue me
[CHORUS...]
BRIDGE:
I'm looking beyond to find faith in the scarlet sky
I want to be a hero just once before I die
[CHORUS...]
