I live in a house of ruin
I've got no one to comfort me
I play upon my old bassoon
this sad symphony
there are no surprises anymore
no no surprises anymore
not anymore
not anymore.

when she left me for billy
did you think i was silly
when i chased her all around town
didn't give a damn who was
hanging around telling me i was crazy

everybody's saying
that i'm crazy crazy yea
they're saying
"look at that boy
he's crazy crazy yea"

sure sure billy's pretty
he's the only cowboy in the city
never really seemed to matter
that his mind was in tatters
she shot me down

maybe it's the way
i've patterned my days
after her smiles
but when she calls me
says she wants to ball me
i'm a sucker to her wiles

when she left me for billy
did you think i was silly
anyplace i would take her
anywhere i would make her
mine....."lewis is crazy"

everybody's saying
that i'm crazy crazy yea
they're saying
"look at that boy
he's crazy crazy, yea
... crazy crazy"

I live in a house of ruin
I've got no one to comfort me
I play upon my old bassoon
this sad symphony
there are no surprises anymore
no no surprises anymore
not anymore
not anymore.
