Lyrics Basket Case - Warren Zevon

Basket Case

My baby is a basket case:
A bipolar mama in leather and lace;
Face like an angel, she’s a perfect waste
My baby is a basket case
Dracula’s daughter, Calamity Jane
Smoke on the water, water on the brain:
She’s pretty as a picture and totally crazed;
My baby is a basket case
She’s gonna make a madman outta me
She’s gonna make a madman outta me!
She’s manic-depressive and schizoid, too
The friskiest psycho that I ever knew;
We’re paranoid lovers lost in space
My baby is a basket case
My baby’s gonna celebrate:
I’m being dragged through the nuthouse gates
Got my straitjacket on and I’m taking her place:
My baby is a basket case
She finally made a madman outta me
She finally made a madman outta me
My baby made a madman outta me
She finally made a madman outta me
