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
Why  does everybody  run away
 Tell  me, tell me
When  will I get  myself straight
 Help me,  help me
 "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
Why  does everybody  run away
 Tell  me, tell me
When  will I get  myself straight
 Help me,  help me
 'Cos I  live alone
 With a criminal
I  live alone
Why  does everybody  run away
 Tell  me, tell me
When  will I get  myself straight
 Help me,  help me
 'Cos my house  ain't a home
 'Cos I'm living  alone
 With a  criminal
