Lyrics
Smoke's risin' from a backyard fire.
World's gone haywire, haywire.
Smoke's risin' from a backyard fire.
World's gone haywire, haywire.
The boardwalk is narrow, and the river is wide.
There's thieves and angels on either side.
The sky is blue and the grass is green.
You're the most lovin' man I've ever seen.
(chorus)
I tell my heart, stop beating,
When he comes around.
Go take your lovin' to the lost and found.
My heart won't listen, never does, never will.
I will stop lovin' crazy when my heart stands still.
(chorus)
