Last summer things got hazy 

And I ended up in a band

And I slept well through the daytime 

On my stomach in the back of a van

And I was shouting beneath a roof of trees 

With my new friends surrounding me

And I came into my body 

And things were swarming that I've never seen


And I can't abide by rules which are not my own

There's a wolf on my lawn and my bravery is gone

And suddenly I'm a child again

I ran the bases round 

But I fell and I scraped my knees

Is that bad luck for me? 

Is there any bad luck for me?

And I almost fell in love 

But I tore and you tore in two

Is that bad luck for you? 

Am I bad luck for you?


And I watched her across the table 

As the dreams and the drugs left my brain

And it is awkward to meet new people 

And watch our perceptions of them change

But I wished I still felt the same now 

But I am emptier than ever some how

I need to learn how to keep my mouth shut 

To keep friendly things from coming out


And I can't abide by rules which are not my own

There's a hawk on my fence 

And it's warning me again

And suddenly I become a man

The days are winding down 

To what I'm a bit confused

Are they winding down to you? 

Am I winding down to you?

I will keep on riding front 

Until it's time to record again

And I'll be crazy until then 

Yes I'll stay crazy until then

Oh, oh.
