Lyrics

Verse 1
Everything?s gone up in smoke
What am I supposed to do?
The little things that I could save
Have all been taken too

I never knew my neighbours
I couldn?t find the time
And with the television gone
I?m forced to turn to crime

Chorus 1
But now I?m? Dazed
You look at me as if I?m somewhat? Crazed
I marvel at the world and feel? Amazed
The headline reads: A Brand New Suburb Razed

Verse 2
I once thought that I could buy
The lifestyle that I pleased
But the corporate job and social force
Have brought me to my knees

The safety of the modern world
Couldn?t save me from despair
And when I look into the mirror
There isn?t anybody there

Chorus 2
But now I?m? Dazed
You look at me as if I?m somewhat? Crazed
I marvel at the world and feel? Amazed
I open up my eyes and I say

Bridge
Take control of your own life
You know what you should do
What good is internal strife
When others can join too
Like you
Dazed Dazed Dazed Dazed

Chorus 3
I?m? Dazed
You look at me as if I?m somewhat? Crazed
I marvel at the world and feel? Amazed
I open up my eyes and I say? Yeah!

Chorus 4
There was a maid on Scrabble Hill,
And, if not dead, she lives there still.
She grew so tall, she reached the sky,
And on the moon hung clothes to dry
