I'm Deranged
David Bowie & Trent Reznor Lyrics

Funny how secrets travel
It's interesting how rumors spread

I'd start to believe
I would become convinced

If I were to bleed
If I were to open up and become vulnerable

Thin skies, the man chains his hands held high
There is something ominous in the sky; a man with his hands raised in surrender

Cruise me blond
Drive me aimlessly, my partner mirroring my physical appearance

Cruise me babe
Cruise me, my lover

A blond belief beyond, beyond, beyond
An extraordinary and unrealistic belief

No return, no return
There is no turning back

I'm deranged
I am mentally disturbed

Deranged down, down, down
My instability is growing

So cruise me babe, cruise me baby, oh
Please take me on a wild ride, my love

And the rain sets in
The weather becomes negative

It's the angel-man
An eerie or dangerous figure approaches

The clutch of life
The tight hold on life

And the fist of love
The force of love

Over your head
Looming over you

Big deal Salaam
An unimpressive empty expression

Be real deranged Salaam
Urging someone to recognize true madness

Before we reel
Before we lose control

Cruise me, cruise me, cruise me, babe
My need for distraction continues

I'm deranged
I am insane

And the rain sets in
The negative emotions become harsher

And the rain sets in
The negativity deepens

Cruise me, cruise me, cruise me, babe
The plea for escapism continues
