Theme from Crazy 
Voice, guitar, lyrics by Jesse Cohen
bass, drums, and editing by Peter Fish

as the madness starts to set
illusions in my head, yet I believe
so real to me, the fear grows so intense
chase disrupts my chill
change the way i feel
backs me up against the wall, cause the illusions seem so real


heart beats double time
when I see that hidden sign
and the wall begins to crack
as I walk that real thin line
between reality and fate
i meet my demons at the gate
but there’s no angels there to 
steer me clear of the shadows on my plate.

THEME FROM CRAZY (documentary)



What will the new year bring?
What will New York do to me?
cause baby baby, I don't don't
cause baby, I don't I don't I don't

Nobody Knows Your Name (When in Rome)

by Jesse Cohen

I came alone
to a city not my own
and it’s been a real long time
since I phoned home

I live in New York City
where the streets show no pity
where the word on the street
sings when in Rome, when in Rome

I left alone
from a city monotone
where the same old conversation
seemed to drone

oh what a pity
about that boy from okay-city 
who left his mama waiting
by the phone, by the phone

Towers and tycoons
taxicabs and trains
subways cars and taco trucks
nobody knows your name
from Brooklyn to the Bronx
still, no one knows your name

like Woody Guthrie
seems the heartland tends to yield
certain kind of kid who wants to build

a life from the stories from the books upon their shelves
penned by old wayfarers like himself
like myself

tenements and projects
bedbugs and vagabonds
hipsters and movie stars
dancing toe to toe with bums
dancing in the moonlight
with all us Bowery bums

I left alone to this city now my own
and it’s been a real long time
since I phoned home

I live in New York City
where the streets show no pity
where the word on the street
sings when in Rome, when in Rome
when in Rome

Nobody Knows Your Name (When in Rome)

Rolling my eyes I've been waiting for the punchline
keeping the change so I can use it on the breadline
and that's just twelve little steps from the soupline
can I abide and stay living for the good life?
or the afterlife?

Chorus

Lock your doors at night
It doesn't matter I will find you sleeping
lock your doors at night, 
hideout in the light, where darkness can still get to you
through your doors at night
doesn't matter I will find you sleeping
hiding under the light where darkness can get you, still
still

It's like a creepy crescendo seconds later when you fall asleep
tired as hell, I feel a weight bearing down on me
if ignorance is bliss, I guess this ride's for free
forgive me if I never come back through this door
no stranger time to question who I'm working for
it seems this job has changed, and along with me.

Chorus

Lock your doors at night
It doesn't matter I will find you sleeping
lock your doors at night, 
hideout in the light, where darkness can still get to you
through your doors at night
doesn't matter I will find you sleeping
hiding under the light where darkness can get you, still
still

repeat verse 1

Rolling my eyes I've been waiting for the punchline
keeping the change so I can use it on the breadline
and that's just twelve little steps from the soupline
can I abide and stay living for the good life?
or the afterlife?

Chorus

Lock your doors at night
It doesn't matter I will find you sleeping
lock your doors at night, 
hideout in the light, where darkness can still get to you
through your doors at night
doesn't matter I will find you sleeping
hiding under the light where darkness can get you

A very interesting progression of chords over some nice rat-ta-tat.
