Elvis Costello – Psycho lyrics
Can mary fry some fish, mama
Im as hungry as can be
Oh lord, how I wish, mama
You could stop the baby cryin
Cause my head is killing me

I saw my ex again last night mama
She was at the dance at millers store
She was with that jackie white mama
I killed them both
And they're buried under jacobs sycamore

You think Im psycho don't you mama
I didn't mean to break your cup
You think Im psycho don't you mama
You better let em lock me up

Oh, don't hand me johnnys pup mama
As I might squeeze him too tight
Im havin crazy dreams again mama
So let me tell you bout last night
I woke up in johnnys room mama
Standing right there by his bed
With my hands around his throat mama
Wishing both of us were dead

You think Im psycho don't you mama
I just killed johnnys pup
You think Im psycho don't you mama
Youd better let em lock me up

Oh you recall that little girl mama
I believe her name was betty clark
Oh don't tell me that she's dead mama
Cause I just saw her in the park
We were sitting on a bench mama
Thinking of a game to play
Seems I was holding a wrench mama
Then my mind just walked away

You think Im psycho don't you mama
I didn't mean to break your cup
You think Im psycho don't you mama
Mama why don't you get up?
