We used to live so bright
We used to shine, she said
Now you just work all day
I just stay in bed

Dreamin' of singin' 'nother song
Dreamin' of flyin'
Knowin' it can't, it won't be long
Before I just float away

Well, I come from the cradle
I'm going to the grave like everybody else has
You know, I made the same old sins
And I make the same mistakes as everybody else has

And I'm going haywire
And I'm going haywire

Well, you can count me out of
Your prized possessions, watch me smiling
Cut me down with your best intentions
Listen to me laughing

And though, I come from the cradle
I'm going to the grave like everybody else has
You know, I made the same old sins
And I make the same mistakes as everybody else has

And I'm going haywire
Hey, why not
I'm going haywire

And what do I have to lose?
And what do I have to lose?
And what do I have to lose?
What do I have left to lose?

Drop my clothes in the closest ocean
Set me sailing
No, you don't have to tell me where I'm going
Just please, don't make me stay

And though, I come from the cradle
I'm going to the grave like everybody else has
You know, I made the same old sins
And made the same mistakes
I make the same old sins
I won't make the same mistakes as you and everybody else has

And I'm going haywire
Hey, why not
And I'm going haywire

And you can try to stop me
Now if you're so [Incomprehensible]
And you can try to plead for me
But I don't think you can
Somehow I found my feet
And walked right away from you

And I'm going haywire
And I'm going hay
I'm going haywire
