Alice Cooper – Millie And Billie
Billie I wonder why are we insane
Will we ever get better
Will we stay the same
Billie I’m worried
Millie don’t worry
No one knows our pain
Being in love is crazy not alone that way
I know you’re worried today
God made love crazy so he wouldn’t feel
alone
He was thinking of us he was thinking of us
God made love crazy so he wouldn’t feel so
alone
Billie my mind seems to wander
To events of a night long ago
Driving alone with our guilt well concealed
In the trunk of your ’68 Olds
Millie our world’s an asylum
And our minds like you say ain’t that straight
But you know and I know our passion’s
Not deformed it’s true to say
We’ll love our lifetime
God made love crazy so he wouldn’t feel
alone
He was thinking of us he was thinking of us
God made love crazy so he wouldn’t feel so
alone
Billie I dream of our children
They’re frightening and gruesome and sad
And I don’t want them growing inside me
They’re no price for the love that we have
Oh Millie oh Billie criminally insane
Oh Millie oh Billie
Oh Billie it’s fresh in my memory
The night that it had to be done
You with your pick axe and scissors
And you with your shovel and gun
And I liked your late husband Donald
But such torture his memory brings
All sliced up and sealed tight in baggies
Guess love makes you do funny things
Oh Millie oh Billie criminally insane
Oh Millie oh Billie
Serious
When I look back at my time at the track
And I played and I played and I played and
I was
Shooting the craps at the back of Fat Jack’s
Come on fade me Jake
I’m a Las Vegas dreamer they took to the
cleaners
A bath what a bath what a bath I’d take
A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook
’cause I lost my stake
I took that serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again and again and again and
again
I’m a gambling fool with a roll and cue
Wanna play wanna play wanna play with me
Put my ass on the line rubbed my nose in
the grime
And they picked me clean
The chance and the game drove Old Silkly
insane
What a pain what a strain on my brain it
was
A fish on a hook I was rattled and shook
’cause I lost my stake
I took that serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Again and again and again and again and
again
Serious it was serious oh so serious
Serious it was serious oh so serious
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Or a friend
Again and again and again and again and
again
All of my life was a laugh and a joke
And a drink and a smoke
And then I passed out on the floor
Or a friend
Again and again and again and again and
again and again
And again and again and again and again
and again
And again and again
How You Gonna See Me Now
Dear darlin’ surprised to hear from me?
Bet you’re sittin’ drinkin’ coffee, yawnin’
sleepily
Just to let you know
I’m gonna be home soon
I’m kinda awkward and afraid
Time has changed your point of view
How you gonna see me now
Please don’t see me ugly babe
‘Cause I know I let you down
In oh so many ways
How you gonna see me now
Since we’ve been on our own
Are you gonna love the man
When the man gets home
Listen darlin’ now I’m heading for the west
Straightened out my head but my old heart
is still a mess
Yes I’m worried honey
Guess that’s natural though
It’s like I’m waiting for a welcome sign
Like a hobo in the snow
And just like the first time
We’re just strangers again
I might have grown out of style
In the place I’ve been
And just like the first time
I’ll be shakin’ inside
When I walk in the door
There’ll be no place to hide
For Veronica’s Sake
I got my name and number
I got my bed assigned
I got a dog in the city pound
That I left behind
I’m strapped down and wild-eyed
She’s locked up in a pen
She needs somebody to feed her
And I’m her only friend
So for Veronica’s sake I gotta get out of
here
Yeah for Veronica’s sake, she can get pretty
weird
Yeah for Veronica’s sake I gotta get myself
out of here
We both been put in cages
We got our shots and tags
I got my sweatin’ fist to shake
She’s got her tail to wag
She has to bark and whimper
While I could scream and shout
The clock above the psycho ward
Says time is running out
So for Veronica’s sake I gotta get out of
here
Yeah for Veronica’s sake, she can get pretty
weird
Yeah for Veronica’s sake I gotta get myself
out of here
And I can see her howling all night at the
lonely moon
They’re going to give her the gas if I don’t
get there soon
I gotta get there soon
For Veronica’s sake I gotta get out of here
Yeah for Veronica’s sake, she can get pretty
weird
Jackknife Johnny
From his army confessions of his military
days
You still carry the shrapnel you’re
shell-shocked and dazed
Dear Johnny have you lost your way
Or like denim and leather are you faded and
frayed
Institute lackies with hot bourbon breath
White coats and needles Johnny like to
scare you to death
Dear Johnny do you feel your best
When you’re strung out at night on your
morphine and meth
Jackknife Johnny you’re a floor moppin’
flunkie
Tool of a dagger’s drawn world
Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate
you
For bringing home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world
From the tone deaf hearing of the draft
board game
You were washing cars down in Dallas when
the holocaust came
Dear Johnny your excuse was lame
All your friends sleep in boxes while you
sleep in chains
Jackknife Johnny you’re a bad jungle
monkey
Tool of a dagger’s drawn world
Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate
you
For bringing home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world
Jackknife Johnny you’re a floor moppin’
flunkie
Tool of a dagger’s drawn world
Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate
you
For bringing home that V.C. girl
Jackknife Johnny welcome to our world
Jackknife Johnny you’re a bad jungle
monkey
Tool of a dagger’s drawn world
Jackknife Johnny them old vets gotta hate
you
For bringing home that V.C. girl

Inmates (We’re All Crazy)
It’s not like we did something wrong
We just burned down the church
While the choir within sang religious songs
And it’s not like we thought we was right
We just played with the wheels of a
passenger train
That cracked on the tracks one night
It’s not like we ain’t on the ball
We just talk to our shrinks
Huh they talk to their shrinks
No wonder we’re up the wall
We’re not stupid or dumb
We’re the lunatic fringe who rusted the
hinge
On Uncle Sam’s daughters and sons
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in another world
With roller coaster brains
Imagine playing with trains
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in some other world
We’re all crazy we’re all crazy we’re all crazy
Lizzy Borden took an axe and gave her
mother forty whacks
And don’t think we’re trying to be bad
All the innocent crime seemed alright at the
time
Not necessarily mad not necessarily mad
We watch every day for the bus
And the driver would say
“That’s where lunatics stay”
I wonder if he’s talking about us
It’s not like we’re vicious or gone
We just dug up the graves where your
relatives lay
In old forest lawn
And it’s not like we don’t know the score
We’re the fragile elite they dragged off the
street
I guess they just couldn’t take us no more
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in another world
With roller coaster brains
Imagine digging up graves
Good old boys and girls
Congregating waiting in some other world
We’re all crazy we’re all crazy we’re all crazy
we’re all crazy
We’re all crazy we’re all crazy we’re all crazy
we’re all crazy
We’re all crazy
