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
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

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.
This is the greatest song in the history of music.
I Like it!!!
love it
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.
I was looking just for the song on Youtube, and I clicked on this video. Great video to a great song.
