During the ‘Outside Tour’ in 1995, “I’m Deranged” and “Look Back In Anger” from Lodger were often played back to back; lyrically the two songs share similar themes, including the character of ‘the angel’.
“You know who I am,” he said
The speaker was an angel
He coughed and shook his crumpled wings
...
[Verse 1]
Funny how secrets travel
I'd start to believe
If I were to bleed
Thin skies, the man chains his hands held high
Cruise me blond
Cruise me, babe
A blond belief beyond beyond beyond
No return, no return
I'm deranged
Deranged, down, down, down
I'm deranged, down, down, down
So cruise me, babe; cruise me, baby
[Chorus]
And the rain sets in
It's the angel-man
I'm deranged
Cruise me; cruise me; cruise me, babe
[Verse 2]
The clutch of life and the fist of love
Over your head
Big deal Salaam
Be real deranged Salaam
Before we reel
I'm deranged
[Chorus]
And the rain sets in
It's the angel-man
I'm deranged
And the rain sets in
It's the angel-man
I'm deranged
Cruise me cruise me cruise me babe
[Outro]
