Misheard Lyrics:
Well he's a steel town psycho
He's a legend of his time
He's running like a psycho
Across the wild Midwestern sky
He's a legend of his time
He's running like a psycho
Across the wild Midwestern sky

Well he's a steel town disciple
He's a legend of his kind
He's running like a cyclone
Across the wild Midwestern sky
He's a legend of his kind
He's running like a cyclone

The guy's a psycho, right! Who can understand what Jimmy Barnes sings, anyway? In 1985 Aussies thought the line was "Life's too short for burning brandy" (but I didn't, lol).
