Crazyman Dance

George Michael

well I'm still here 
but I'm so scared 
got myself in trouble, so much trouble 
I know I've got to make it 
but I just can't take New York 

my middle name is fear 
I have a vacant stare 
and it's been so long since my body's been warm 
I know I've got to make it 
but I just can't take New York 

I came here 
all dreams and wide eyes in the big, big city 
no family, no money 
and I don't even know what's hit me 

he hasn't seen a doctor 
since he got here in the spring 
went to the Medicentre 
but they wouldn't let him 
without a green card 
life can be so hard 
take pity on a man without a home of his own 
how could he ever have known? 

every street and every corner 
watch them drowning 
watch them do the Crazyman dance 
man and women to the slaughter 
we just stand and watch them 
do the Crazyman dance 

it's been one whole year 
and it's just not fair 
for all the pushing and shoving 
I've still got nothing 
I'm never gonna make it 
and I'm stuck here in New York 

so people don't come near 
unless you've a dollar to spare 
'cause you know what they say 
about madmen on the subways of New York 
believe it 

yesterday's newspapers 
I wrap them around my body 
outside these skyscrapers 
I wait for the night to hit me 
and boy, does it hit me 

every street and every corner 
watch them drowning 
watch them do the Crazyman dance 
for a nickel or a quarter 
for your pleasure 
watch them do the Crazyman dance 

I'm coming yo London 
I'm coming to Paris 
I'm coming yo make you good clean people embarressed 
why don't you look at my face 
why don't you look in my eyes 
you'd rather look at your feet 
you'd rather look at the skies 

oh, you'd look anywhere 
but a man whose pure existence 
says 'I ain't got time' 
and I don't care 
you just don't care 
care
