Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I can see it now
The distant red neon shivered in the heat
I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land
You know, where people play games with the night
God, it was too hot to sleep
I followed the sound of a jukebox coming from up the levy
All of a sudden I could hear somebody whistling from right behind me
I turned around and she said
"Why do you always end up down at Nick's Cafe?"
I said, uh, I don't know, the wind just kind of pushed me this way
And she said, "hang the rich"
[Verse 2]
Catch the blue train, places never been before
Look for me somewhere down the crazy river
(Somewhere down the crazy river)
Ooh, catch the blue train all the way to Kokomo
You can find me somewhere down the crazy river
(Somewhere down the crazy river)
[Verse 3]
Take a picture of this
The fields are empty
Abandoned '59 Chevy
Laying in the back seat listening to Little Willie John
Yeah, that's when time stood still
You know, I think I'm gonna go down to Madame X and let her read my mind
She said, that voodoo stuff don't do nothing for me
[Verse 4]
I'm a man with clear destination
I'm a man with a broad imagination
You fog the mind, you stir the soul
I can't find no control
[Verse 5]
Catch the blue train, places never been before
Look for me somewhere down the crazy river
(Somewhere down the crazy river)
Ooh, catch the blue train all the way to Kokomo
You can find me somewhere down the crazy river
(Somewhere down the crazy river)
[Verse 6]
Wait, did you hear that?
Oh, this is sure stirring up some ghosts for me
She said, there's one thing you gotta learn
Is not to be afraid of it
I said, no, I like it, I like it, it's good
She said, you like it now, but you'll learn to love it later
[Verse 7]
(I been spellbound, falling in trances)
(I been spellbound, falling in trances)
You give me the shivers, chills and fever
You give me the shivers
You give me the shivers (I been spellbound, falling into trances)
(I been spellbound) Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere down the crazy river
Somewhere
Somewhere
