Far Side Of Crazy Lyrics - Seven Days In Sammystown - Wall Of Voodoo

I'm Pilate and Jesus 

And I wept when Lennon died 

Yet I envied his assailant 

When I visited the shrine 

I cried for all those Beatle Fans 

So old so quick they grow 

I follow the example to destroy 

What I love most 

And I remain on the far side of crazy 

I remain the mortal enemy of man 

No hundred dollar cure will save me 

Can't stay a boy in no man's land 

I once hid my lust for stardom 

Like a filthy magazine 

I stroked the shaft on my guitar 

And watched you on the screen 

I've become now what I wanted 

To be all along 

A psychopathic poet 

The Devil's bastard son 

And I remain on the far side of crazy 

I remain the mortal enemy of man 

No hundred dollar cure will save me 

Can't stay a boy in no man's land 

I shot an actor for an actress 

But he lived to make a joke 

Shot two other men who could have been 

The bodys of my folks 

I stagger toward the future 

I stagger day to day 

Plot revenge inside of darkness 

I am withering in pain 

And I remain on the far side of crazy 

I remain the mortal enemy of man 

No hundred dollar cure will save me 

Can't stay a boy in no man's land
