Madman Across The Water (Piano Demo / 1971) - Elton John

Lyrics by：Bernie Taupin

Composed by：Elton John

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

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'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 need a

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
