Melanie Martinez - Things Have Changed

Copied!

{Verse 1}
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind
There's a girl on my lap and she's drinking champagne
Got white skin, got assassin's eyes
I'm looking up into the sapphire-tinted skies
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train

{Pre-Chorus 1}
Standing on the gallows with my head in a noose
Any minute now I'm expecting all hell to break loose

{Chorus}
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed

{Verse 2}
This place ain't doing me any good
I'm in the wrong town, I should be in Hollywood
Just for a second there I thought I saw something move
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag
Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag
Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove

{Pre-Chorus 2}
Lotta water under the bridge, lotta other stuff too
Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through

{Chorus}
People are crazy and times are strange
I'm locked in tight, I'm out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
Used to care, but things have changed
