Madman Across The Water

I can see very well

There's a boat on the reef with a broken back

And I can see it very well

There's a joke and I know it very well

It's one of those that I told you long ago

Take my word I'm a madman don't you know



Once a fool had a good part in the play

If it's so would I still be here today

It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way

They think it's very funny everything I say

Get a load of him, he's so insane

You better get your coat dear

It looks like rain



We'll come again next Thursday afternoon

The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon

But is it in your conscience that you're after

Another glimpse of the madman across the water



I can see very well

There's a boat on the reef with a broken back

And I can see it very well

There's a joke and I know it very well

It's one of those that I told you long ago

Take my word I'm a madman don't you know



The ground's a long way down but I need more

Is the nightmare black

or are the windows painted

Will they come again next week

Can my mind really take it
