Psycho Lyrics
Can Mary fry some fish, mama
I`m as hungry as can be
Oh lord, how I wish, mama
You could stop the baby cryin`
`Cause my head is killing me
I saw my ex again last night mama
She was at the dance at Miller`s store
She was with that Jackie White mama
I killed them both
And they`re buried under Jacob`s sycamore
You think I`m psycho don`t you mama
I didn`t mean to break your cup
You think I`m psycho don`t you mama
You better let `em lock me up
Oh, don`t hand me Johnny`s pup mama
Because I might squeeze him too tight
I`m havin` crazy dreams again mama
So let me tell you `bout last night
I woke up in Johnny`s room mama
Standing right there by his bed
With my hands around his throat mama
Wishing both of us were dead
You think I`m psycho don`t you mama
I just killed Johnny`s pup
You think I`m psycho don`t you mama
You`d better let `em lock me up
Do you recall that little girl mama
I believe her name was Betty Clark
Oh don`t tell me that she`s dead mama
`Cause I just saw her in the park
We were sitting on a bench mama
Thinking of a game to play
Seems I was holding a wrench mama
And then my mind just walked away
You think I`m psycho don`t you mama
I didn`t mean to break your cup
You think I`m psycho don`t you mama
Mama why don`t you get up?
This song is amazing and Elvis Costello sings it perfectly! This song was on Costello's Sweet Dreams album. I love the ending of the song where it emplies that he killed his mother. Every time I hear this song it brings chills down my spine. One of the best lines in the song to me would have to be "Seems I was holding a wrench mama Then my mind just walked away". This is definately one of Costello's best singing performances in his career and I love the song!!!
