Madman Across The Water (Live In Australia 1986)

Madman Across The Water - Elton John

Written by：Elton John/Bernie Taupin

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

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

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
