about
This is my first recorded song! It's a cover by Melanie Martinez, one of my favourite artists. I love this song, because I'm quite quirky, and I relate to it, but it also has this really cool vibe to it, so I decided to cover it!
lyrics
[VERSE ONE]
My friends don't walk, they run.
Skinny dip in rabbit holes for fun.
Popping, popping balloons with guns,
Getting high off helium.
We paint white roses red,
Each shade from a different person's head.
This dream, dream is a killer,
Getting drunk with a blue caterpillar.
[PRE-CHORUS]
I'm peeling the skin off my face.
'Cause I really hate being safe.
The normals, they make me afraid,
The crazies, they make me feel sane.
[CHORUS]
I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad,
The craziest friend that you've ever had.
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone,
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong.
Over the bend, entirely bonkers.
You like me best when I'm off my rocker.
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed.
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are.
All the best people are crazy,
All the best people are.
[VERSE TWO]
Where is my prescription?
Doctor, doctor please listen!
My brain is scattered.
You can be Alice,
I'll be the Mad Hatter.
[PRE-CHORUS]
I'm peeling the skin off my face.
'Cause I really hate being safe.
The normals, they make me afraid,
The crazies, they make me feel sane.
[CHORUS]
I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad,
The craziest friend that you've ever had.
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone,
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong.
Over the bend, entirely bonkers.
You like me best when I'm off my rocker.
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed.
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are.
All the best people are crazy,
All the best people are.
[BRIDGE]
You think I'm crazy,
You think I'm gone.
So what if I'm crazy?
All the best people are.
And I think you're crazy too,
I know you're gone.
That's probably the reason,
That we get along.
[CHORUS]
I'm nuts, baby, I'm mad,
The craziest friend that you've ever had.
You think I'm psycho, you think I'm gone,
Tell the psychiatrist something is wrong.
Over the bend, entirely bonkers.
You like me best when I'm off my rocker.
Tell you a secret, I'm not alarmed.
So what if I'm crazy? The best people are.
All the best people are crazy,
All the best people are.
All the best people are crazy,
All the best people are.
