I scare myself when I'm without you
I scare myself, the moment that you're gone
I scare myself when I let my thoughts run
And when they're running
I keep thinking of you
And when they're running
What can I do?
I scare myself and I don't mean lightly
I scare myself, it can get frightening
I scare myself to think what I could do
I scare myself, it's some kind of voodoo
And with that voodoo
I keep thinking of you
And with that voodoo
What can I do?
And with that voodoo
I keep thinking of you
And with that voodoo
What can I do?
But it's so, so very different when we're together
And I'm so, so, so much calmer, I feel better
'Cause the stars already crossed our paths forever
And the sooner that we realize it, the better
And then I'll be with you and I won't scare myself
And I'll know what to do and I won't scare myself
And my thoughts will run and I won't scare myself
And I'll think of you and I won't scare myself
''...it's me I'm scaring...
...it's me I'm scaring...
...it's me I'm scaring...''

I just ride my motorcycle a bit too fast. 58yr old arthritic me doesn't have the balance and reactions even 48yr old me had. Far easier and lower speeds will scare meself, now.
57yo here with a 2007 Speed Triple 1050. Can confirm.
All I have to do is get up in the morning and look in the mirror. ; )

After She Had Blinded Me With Science...
...which She did, and cost me a marriage.
This.
Hardly a decent Cover of, my favorite,
Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks.
Caught my attention.
Thanks. RP.

I loved this album back in college; it's worth a full listen on the old turntable.

Dan Hicks does an updated version of this with Rickie Lee Jones on his Beating the Heat Album thats pretty good also but it got insta-sorried on the LRC when I uploaded it. I still Like Dan Hicks original version from Striking It Rich the best though...
One of the reasons I listen to Radio Paradise is that if I hear a different version of a song that I know, it is a 50/50 chance that I didn't realize the version I grew up with was a cover.
What is this nonsense all about??
I regularly scare myself. Perhaps it’s a lifestyle thing!
I saw Dan Hicks do this live at "The Last Resort" in Grayslake IL back around '72.
Edit: I tried uploading the Rickie Lee Jones version of this to the LRC but it got insta-sorried...
His first 4 albums are great! Last Train to Hicksville has a great tune, 'Long Comes a Viper' which is speed scat singing at its best! It'll blow your mind!!!

Couldn't agree more. I absolutely love this album. I must admit that I prefer this version over the Dan Hicks version, mainly because this is the 'original' to me.

Looking in the mirror during an acid trip does the trick. Pretty effectively, I must say.
A lot of folks have recommended the Return to Hicksville compilation. I think Striking It Rich!, which has the original version of this song, is Hicks's most coherent statement with one version of the Hot Licks.
I was thinking the same thing(s).
Caught Dan at an outdoor pops festival a couple of summers ago at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in (the aptly-named) Grass Valley, CA. It was hilarious to hear him rambling on about hash brownies before an audience comprised primarily of septo- and octogenarians. I'm not sure the promoters had any idea who they were booking; they probably saw a picture of a group with two female vocalists and a violinist and thought, "Hey, this looks OK...."
i love this, and am a huge TD fan too, but really love ALIENS ATE MY BUICK and ASTRONAUTS AND HERETICS more.
Thomas Dolby put out some fantastic music - absolutely love this CD. Loved the little round spectacles and his mad hair, as well!
...And Egon Spengler, seperated at birth?:

We heard Dan Hick's original version earlier today. It's WAY better, although I understand why Bill elected to play this today.
