Crazyland Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Let me take your hat friend, tell me what's the matter
'Round here, folks call me the Mad Hatter
That's Sad in the corner with his heart on his sleeve
Talking to Regret, who's never gonna leave

[Verse 2]
Over there playing pool is Fool and Lost
And tending bar tonight, that's All My Fault
We all just hang out and listen to Blues
Sing his songs, there's nothing else to do

[Chorus]
In Crazyland, since you said goodbye, it's been crazy, man
Lunatics, liars and also-rans waiting on her leaving to come back again
Here in Crazyland, talking to yourself is the only plan
Giving up on your last give a damn, here in Crazyland

[Verse 3]
Pick you out a stool, son, I'll buy the first round
I'll tell you how her leaving brought the whole house down
No, not that one, that's Sorrow's
He's over shaking hands with I Told You So

[Verse 4]
That's Outta His Mind that just walked in
And he's old Insane's new best friend
It's a whole damn room full of lost who's who's
And you never know who you're gonna run into
[Chorus]
In Crazyland, since you said goodbye, it's been crazy, man
Lunatics, liars and also-rans waiting on her leaving to come back again
Here in Crazyland, talking to yourself is the only plan
Giving up on your last give a damn, here in Crazyland

[Outro]
I didn't catch your name, friend, sorry 'bout that
Sure nice to meet you, baby, please come back

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

“Crazyland” is the metaphoric location occupied by all of the negative thoughts and emotions triggered by “her leaving.” They are personified as men hanging out together in a bar. The scene is fairly hopeless, as they just wait for her “to come back again.” Despite the despair, the song is humorous and strikes a lighthearted mood.
