Madman Across The Water lyrics

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, yeah

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 really 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 a madman across the water
