“I’m Deranged” is a song written by David Bowie and Brian Eno in 1995 for the album Outside. Musically and lyrically, it shares many themes with “Look Back in Anger” from Lodger (1979), including the appearance of an angel figure before an artist. The two songs were frequently played together during the 1995 Outside Tour. Two different versions of the song were featured in the film Lost Highway (1997). The song was played during both the intro and the end credits and appears on the soundtrack.
Funny how secrets travel
I’d start to believe
If I were to bleed
Thin skies, the man chains his hands held high
Cruise me blond
Cruise me, babe
A blond belief beyond beyond beyond
No return, no return
I’m deranged
Deranged, down, down, down
I’m deranged, down, down, down
So cruise me, babe; cruise me, baby
And the rain sets in
It’s the angel-man
I’m deranged
Cruise me; cruise me; cruise me, babe
The clutch of life and the fist of love
Over your head
Big deal Salaam
Be real deranged Salaam
Before we reel
I’m deranged
And the rain sets in
It’s the angel-man
I’m deranged
And the rain sets in
It’s the angel-man
I’m deranged
Cruise me cruise me cruise me babe
I’m deranged
And the rain sets in
It’s the angel-man.
