You may be right  
I may be crazy  
But it just might be a lunatic you’re looking for

Crazy, I’m crazy for feeling so lonely  
I’m crazy, crazy for feeling so blue  
I knew you’d love me as long as you wanted  
And then someday you’d leave me for somebody new

Grab somebody  
Come on down  
Bring a paint brush  
We’re painting the town  
There’s some sweetness goin’ around  
Dreams do come true in new Orleans

Ah ah, you can’t ride in my little red wagon  
The front seat’s broken and the axel’s draggin’

For five long years, I thought you were my man  
But I found out, I’m just a link in your chain, oh  
You got me where you want me, I ain’t nothing but your fool  
You treated me mean, oh, you treated me cruel

Chain, chain, chain (chain, chain, chain)  
Chain of fools

Hush brother, we cross the square  
Act natural like you don’t care  
Turn slowly and comb your hair  
Don’t trouble the midnight air  
We’re standing just where he stood  
It was chain lightning  
It feels so good

Oh, they say she died one winter  
When there came a killing frost  
And the pony she named Wildfire  
Busted down its stall  
In a blizzard, he was lost

She ran calling Wildfire  
She ran calling Wildfire  
She ran calling Wildfire

And everyone has a heart and it’s calling for something  
And we’re all so sick and tired of seeing things as they are  
The horses are just horses and their manes aren’t full of fire

When I loved you  
And you loved me,  
You were the sea,  
The sky, the tree.

Now skies are skies,  
And seas are seas,  
And trees are brown  
And they are trees.
