Yeah, I can see it now
The distant red neon
shivered in the heat
I was feeling
like a stranger
in a strange land
You know where
people play games
with the night
God, it was
too hot to sleep
I followed the sound
of a jukebox coming
from up the levee
All of a sudden
I could hear
somebody whistling
from right behind me
I turned around
and she said
"Why do you always
end up down
at Nick's Cafe?"
I said
"I don't know,
the wind just kind of
pushed me this way"
She said
"Hang the rich"
Catch the blue train
to places
never been before
Look for me
Somewhere down
the crazy river
Ooh, catch the
blue train
All the way
to Kokomo
You can find me
Somewhere down
the crazy river
Take a picture of this
The fields are empty,
abandoned 'fifty-nine
Chevy
Laying in the
back seat listening
to Little Willie John
Yeah, that's when
time stood still
You know, I think
I'm gonna go down
to Madam X
And let her
read my mind
She said
"That Voodoo stuff don't
do nothing for me"
I'm a man with
a clear destination
I'm a man with
a broad imagination
You fog the mind,
you stir the soul
I can't find
no control...
Catch the blue train
to places never
been before
Look for me
Somewhere down
the crazy river
Ooh, catch the
blue train
All the way to Kokomo
You can find me
Somewhere down
the crazy river
Wait, did you
hear that?
Oh this is sure
stirring up some
ghosts for me
She said
"There's one thing
you've gotta learn
That's not to be
afraid of it"
I said
"No, I like it
I like it, it's good"
She said
"You like it now
But you'll learn
to love it later"
I been spellbound
falling in trances
I been spellbound
falling in trances
Ooh...
