Circle - Madman lyrics
rate meSo you left the town that you grew up in<br />
A change of scene won't do you in<br />
Nothing wrong with some innocent sin.<br />
You're not working anyway<br />
So what if night becomes day?<br />
Come meet the Madman.<br />
Come greet the Madman.<br />
<br />
So you choose a life that's free and loose<br />
Your new cool friend is just a recluse<br />
it don't feel like your head's in a noose.<br />
But now it's so dark inside.<br />
Reruns your only light.<br />
hang with the Madman.<br />
Comforting Madman.<br />
<br />
Shake off the dust, go get a drink<br />
Down on the street ain't no need to think<br />
As you stand at the edge and look over the brink.<br />
Order another shot<br />
Endless is what you got.<br />
So says the Madman.<br />
All knowing Madman.<br />
<br />
The hands on the clock spin round 'n' round<br />
But after awhile they will slow down<br />
And then crash to a halt making a thunderous sound,<br />
Clanging inside your head,<br />
Filling you up with dread<br />
Where is the Madman?<br />
Can't find the Madman.<br />
<br />
After a while you just go to sleep<br />
You consider that maybe your new friend's a creep<br />
But it's hard to think clearly when you're in so deep.<br />
The Madman would know what to do<br />
He wouldn't lie to you.<br />
Talk to the Madman.<br />
Talk to the Madman.<br />
<br />
Starting to sweat and seeing the flash<br />
The room all around is filled with trash<br />
You then realize that you ain't got no cash.<br />
So you steal what you need right now.<br />
Who'll miss it anyhow?<br />
Won't be the Madman<br />
No, not the Madman.<br />
<br />
This time of the year ain't quite like the last<br />
Hours into days into weeks months have passed<br />
It started out easy but happened so fast.<br />
your friends don't come 'round no more<br />
Just the creep and you know what for.<br />
Him and the Madman.<br />
Always the Madman.<br />
<br />
You feel that rush run up your spine<br />
and you hear that faint, high metallic whine<br />
Then you see the future of all mankind,<br />
But it's only three minutes long.<br />
Then you feel all so wrong.<br />
Look for the Madman<br />
Where is the Madman?<br />
<br />
All the toxic waste that's in your brain<br />
Floating out and then back again<br />
You feel left out 'til you don't know when.<br />
Is this what it means to live?<br />
Is this all he got to give?<br />
Goddamn the Madman.<br />
We hate the Madman.<br />
<br />
Test pattern is all that's on TV<br />
Ain't got the strength to clean the sheets<br />
And the blood runs red out in the street.<br />
Best to stay inside<br />
In here we can hide.<br />
Wait for the Madman<br />
Soon it's the Madman.<br />
<br />
Then the ghost of death pounds on the door<br />
You hear the knocks as you lay on the floor<br />
Wonderin' what he's been waiting for,<br />
And you finally get some peace,<br />
Some blessed sweet relief.<br />
No more Madman.<br />
Ain't no more Madman<br />
<br />
