Psychopath Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Running down the highway like a psychopath
All the flames and fury, honey, at my back
Wanna make a bet whether I make it back?
'Cause I'm on the edge of a heart attack
[Verse 2]
You said, "Honey, quit your worrying
Distance is exactly like a blowing wind
Putting out the embers and the tiny flames
And keeping the big ones burning"
[Pre-Chorus]
So I am standing in the sand where we said
"It's the best day of my life," and meant all of it
[Chorus]
Keep me in your soft sights
When all of the rest have moved on
And I'll keep you in my soft sights
When all of the crowd has gone home
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Keep me in your soft sights
When all of the rest have moved on
And I'll keep you in my soft sights
When all of the crowd has gone home
Running down the highway like a psychopath
All the flames and fury, honey, at my back
Wanna make a bet whether I make it back?
'Cause I'm on the edge of a heart attack
[Verse 2]
You said, "Honey, quit your worrying
Distance is exactly like a blowing wind
Putting out the embers and the tiny flames
And keeping the big ones burning"
[Pre-Chorus]
So I am standing in the sand where we said
"It's the best day of my life," and meant all of it
[Chorus]
Keep me in your soft sights
When all of the rest have moved on
And I'll keep you in my soft sights
When all of the crowd has gone home
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus]
Keep me in your soft sights
When all of the rest have moved on
And I'll keep you in my soft sights
When all of the crowd has gone home
About
Genius Annotation
“Psychopath” revisits a date that Clark once went on that didn’t end up sparking any romantic emotions.
The song nearly found life as a track for Madonna after it was first demoed by Annie Clark and producer Emile Haynie – known mainly for his work with rap artists like Eminem – long before writing for St. Vincent had begun.
