Psycho

Elvis Costello

Can Mary fry some fish, mama 
I'm as hungry as can be 
Oh lord, how I wish, mama 
You could stop the baby cryin' 
'Cause my head is killing me 
I saw my ex again last night mama 
She was at the dance at Miller's store 
She was with that Jackie White mama 
I killed them both 
And they're buried under Jacob's sycamore 

You think I'm psycho don't you mama 
I didn't mean to break your cup 
You think I'm psycho don't you mama 
You better let 'em lock me up 

Oh, don't hand me Johnny's pup mama 
As I might squeeze him too tight 
I'm havin' crazy dreams again mama 
So let me tell you 'bout last night 
I woke up in Johnny's room mama 
Standing right there by his bed 
With my hands around his throat mama 
Wishing both of us were dead 

You think I'm psycho don't you mama 
I just killed Johnny's pup 
You think I'm psycho don't you mama 
You'd better let 'em lock me up 

Oh you recall that little girl mama 
I believe her name was Betty Clark 
Oh don't tell me that she's dead mama 
'Cause I just saw her in the park 
We were sitting on a bench mama 
Thinking of a game to play 
Seems I was holding a wrench mama 
Then my mind just walked away 

You think I'm psycho don't you mama 
I didn't mean to break your cup 
You think I'm psycho don't you mama 
Mama why don't you get up?
