Elton John - Madman Across the Water Lyrics

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 and 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've 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?

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
