lyrics

I was born strange
With a comet’s name
Trying to find a way to exist on this plane
I’ve heard tell
I had a rebel yell
I gave em hell, yeah I gave em hell

Well maybe I was crazy
Looking for someone to call me baby
Well maybe I was crazy

Because I left myself with those sad nights
On fire escapes smoking Camel Lights
Saying, "If you wanna just skip this drama
Go on take your clothes off like you got no mama
Take your clothes off like you got no mama, no mama, no mama"

I was nineteen
When he set me free
I moved quickly cause there’s so much to see
I’m just an alien
Swimming in this skin
I thought by now that my life would begin

Well maybe I was crazy
Looking for someone to call me baby
Well maybe I was crazy

Because I left myself with those sad nights
In piss-smelling bars on the Lower East Side
Saying, "If you wanna just skip this drama
Go on and take your clothes off like you got no mama
Take your clothes off like you got no mama, no mama, no mama"

Yeah baby I was crazy
None of those boys could ever save me
Yeah baby I was crazy

Because I left myself with those sad nights
Sitting on the curb in my ripped up tights
Saying, "If you wanna just skip this drama
Go on and take your clothes off like you got no mama
Take your clothes off like you got no mama, no mama, no mama"

I was born strange
With a comet’s name
Trying to find a way to exist on this plane.
