lyrics

Madhouse

You are on the outside looking in
Through the smoke and through the mirrors
You reveal yourself
Only in song
And it’s a beautiful thing
And it’s absurd
You were Naïve
But you got tough
And you made me see

Had I remained a stranger to your song
Would I have been drawn to this?

With lyric labourers’
Labouring in vain
A melody merchant
Sings to an ashtray
The last remaining pleasures
Sold for a song
Your downfall
Was my sing-A-Long.

See the loners and the gypsies and the odd-balls
See the starry-eyed fame chasers, reflection gazers
The scammers, the schemers, the leeches, the preachers
The jokers, the conmen and the people full of holes.
Listen quietly when the wind blows

Had I remained a stranger to your song
Would I have been drawn to this?

Had I remained a stranger to your song
Would I have been drawn to you?
