Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hated by all and everywhere he goes
Blazing contempt for human life and lies
Murder is art and what he knows
He knows from life and fear in other people's eyes
[Chorus]
Crazy love is all around me
Love is crazy, love is kind
But I know, somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy, love is blind
[Verse 2]
She walks the boulevard without a care
Knowing too much, but having come so far
Pretending life is just a game, you play for nothing
Loving no one and nowhere
[Chorus]
Crazy love is all around me
Love goes crazy, given time
But I know, somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy, love is blind
[Verse 3]
She looks as if expecting a surprise
Maybe an encounter that will change her life
Not knowing hot from cold or good from bad
If life is just a joke or if it makes her sad
[Chorus]
Crazy love is all around me
Love is crazy, love is kind
But I know, somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy, love is blind
Crazy love is all around me
Love goes crazy, given time
But I know, somehow you'll find me
Love is crazy, love is blind
