Warren Zevon - Basket Case lyrics

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

Ba ba ba ba, basket case ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, basket case ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, basket case ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, 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

She made a madman (My baby is a basket case)
Madman outta me (She's a basket case)
She made a madman (My baby is a basket case)
Madman outta me (She's a basket case)
She made a madman (My baby is a basket case)
Madman outta me (She's a basket case)
She made a madman (My baby is a basket case)
Madman outta me (She's a basket case)
