Far Side of Crazy

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 of 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 up jokes
Shot two other men who could have been the bodies of my folks
I stagger toward the future
I stagger day to day
I 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-
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
