The Fatima Mansions

The Fatima Mansions - Big Madness lyrics

rate me

In the winter in a seaside boarding house

the killer swigs and reels 'round his room

telling how he made that weeping spinster kneel

Yellow light seeps through a fly-blown lampshade

fading with the dawn

He yells and laughs, "They all wanted it.

It was easy, so how could it be wrong?"

CHORUS:

5 AM and the seas are boiling

5 AM and the windows crack

5 AM and my hands are on you

Big madness

Big madness

When I phone you just to hear your voice

oh please, don't judge me so

It's just that I don't think I'll rise again

till I've seen how low I can go

Next springtime when I'm gone for good

and you struggle to find the words cruel enough

Through all these dying continents

my stupid laughter will be heard--CHORUS

Big madness
