Lyrics
Verse 1
Crazy Little Pixie knows just what she wants
How can you afford not to dream
Still it seems a shame to have to struggle and shout
Crazy little pixie's out of steam
Chorus
The more you want to run
The more you want to hide
Crazy little pixie's got a twinkle in her eye
Verse 2
One step forward equals three steps back
Think to long and you might cry
So take another drink and fade to black
For another moment you get by
Chorus
Bridge
Younger days and blue tattoos
Bring to mind what you once knew
And in a way, it's up to you
You decide when you are through
Verse 3
(same as verse 1)
chorus
The more you want to hide
The more you want to run
Crazy little pixie's come undone
