Crowell, Rodney - I'm A Mess Lyrics






Once in a while I can feel the whole world spinning
My hair twist in the wind, I can't find the brake
The clock on the dashboard is coiled like a snake

There's years flying by me aAnd a wide open cliff
On wheels made of lightning, just barely a blip
If there's room at the top for a loser, look out
The radio's blasting a mean twist and shout

I'm a mess, at times like these
A man should take a blind-fold and smoke

Take a walk, take a drive
Take a kneel, take a dive
Take a month, take a year
Take a hike, disappear

Take it on faith, whatever you get
You just close your eyes, it won't hurt a bit
The firing squad's gathered , the Captain grins
All the change in my pocket won't pay for my sins

I'm a mess, when I woke up
They'd strapped me in an MRI

Black dye in my veins, head Velcro-ed down
Foam happy slippers and a blue paper grown
The banging went on for an hour or more
Then they slipped me out like a boat onto shore

The technician with coffee was sporting a smile
That said, "God gave me wisdom but the devil's got style"

I'm a mess, nothing less
I confess I'm a mess
Now I live in NY
The Babylon of neon fire

The rats on the third rail is smoking like char
The thunder storm hits and I flag down a car

On the screen in Times Square, I look like a wreck
And we lunge out of traffic tricking down through the spec
The hooded girl turns and says, "Look at who's alive"
I say, "Boy you can't scare me, just shut up and drive"

I'm a mess, oh god, yes
I confess, I'm a mess, I'm a mess

  1. P.... M....

    Once in a while, I can feel the whole world spinning.
    My hair twist in the wind. I can't find the brake.
    The clock on the dashboard is coiled like a snake.
    There's years flying by me and a wide open cliff,
    On wheels made of lightning, just barely a blip
    If there's room at the top for a loser, look out.
    The radio's blasting a mean twist and shout.

    I'm a mess.

    At times like these a man should take a blind-fold and smoke.

    Take a walk
    Take a drive
    Take a kneel
    Take a dive
    Take a month
    Take a year
    Take a hike
    Disappear

    Take it on faith - whatever you get.
    You just close your eyes, it won't hurt a bit.
    The firing squad's gathered, the capitan grins.
    All the change in my pocket won't pay for my sins.

    I'm a mess.

    When I woke up, they'd strapped me in an MRI.
    Black dye in my veins, head Velcroed down
    Foam happy slippers and a blue paper grown
    The banging went on for an hour or more.
    Then they slipped me out like a boat onto shore.
    The technician with coffee was sporting a smile
    That said - God gave me wisdom, but the devil's got style

    I'm a mess.
    Nothing less
    I confess
    I'm a mess

    Now I live in NY, the Babylon of Neon Fire
    The rats on the third rail is smoking like char
    The thunder storm hits and I flag down a car
    On the screen in Times Square I look like a wreck
    And we lunge out of traffic tricking down through the spec
    The hooded girl turns and says 'look at who's alive'
    I say - Boy, you can't scare me, just shut up and drive!

    I'm a mess
    Oh God yes,
    I confess
    I'm a mess

    I'm a mess.

    That was sweet, that was great. Just got my Acoustic Guitar Magazine and there is Rodney with EmmyLou. I read the article and was enthused to buy the album at iTunes and was listening to the album I last bought from Rodney "KIN" which this song is on while downloading the new one. Looking for a video of this song and found this. Great artist, great songwriter. Now to listen to the Old Yellow Moon.
