Let's go down the rabbit hole
On these streets is where I roam
Got my pack and paper sign
Spend my money buyin' time
I say, "All I need is 50 cents"
Got no bills, don't pay no rent
Got no home, life is cheap
Behind the dumpster where I sleep
But, oh, my God, look at my sin
Drunk off a bottle full of homemade gin
Ragged old coat, hole in my shoe
Just need a dollar for a can of beef stew
"Excuse me there, mister, can you spare a dime?
I haven't had a meal for a very long time
Give me just a nickel, I'll be on my way
Can you help me out, buddy, whaddaya say?"
I said, "Requiem, requiem
What do you expect from a dirty, ol' bum?
Requiem, requiem
Requiem of the crazies
Requiem, requiem
Requiem of the crazies
Requiem, requiem
Requiem of the crazies"
I think my mind is slippin'
There's voices in my brain
There's poison in the water
Slowly driving me insane
I think I'm being followed
They watch my every move
No one believes me
'Cause it's all impossible to prove
But, oh, my God, it's all in my head
Just hangin' on by a sliver of thread
Rotten brown teeth, haven't had a bath
Better hold your breath if we ever cross paths
Saying, "Pardon me, brother, could you spare a dime?
I haven't had a meal for a very long time
Give me just a quarter, I'll be on my way
Can ya help me out, buddy, whaddaya say?"
I said, "Requiem, requiem
What do you expect from a dirty, ol' bum?
Requiem, requiem
Requiem of the crazies
Requiem, requiem
Requiem of the crazies
Requiem, requiem
Requiem of the crazies"
