Can I play with madness?
Give me the sense to wonder,
To wonder if I'm free.
Give me a sense of wonder,
To know I can be me.
Give me the strength to hold my head up,
Spit back in their face.
Don't need no key to unlock this door.
Gonna break down the walls,
Break out of this bad place.
Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
"There's no vision there at all!"
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me: "Ha!"
He said: "Can I play with madness?"
He said: "You're blind, too blind to see!"
You're just too blind to see!
I screamed aloud to the old man
I said: "Don't lie! Don't say you don't know!"
I said: "You'll pay for this mischief,
In this world or the next!"
Oh, and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said: "Do you want to know the truth, son?
Lord, I'll tell you the truth!
Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire!"
Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
"There's no vision there at all!"
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me: "Ha, ha!"
He said: "Can I play with madness?"
He said: "You're blind, too blind to see!
Ohh, listen to me!
Listen to the prophet!"
