You've Gotta Be Crazy (Dogs) Lyrics
Pink Floyd
Lyrics
You've got to be crazy
Gitta have a real need
Gotta sleep on your toes
And when you're on the street
You've got to be able
To pick up the easy meat
.with your eyes closed
Moving in silently (...)
youve got to strike when the moment is right
without thinking
Youve got to be trusted
by the people that you lie to
so that when they turn their backs on you
yiu get the chance to put the knife in
