The Mystery of Edwin Drood movie - A Man Could Go Quite Mad lyrics

rate me

<br>

Jasper:<br>

Another trifling day, one more soul-stifling day of blinding pain:<br>

Boredom grinds my brain down to the grain.<br>

A man could go quite mad and not be all that bad. <br>

Consider each superb, disturbing urge you've ever had<br>

To curse aloud in church or choke each bloke who<br>

Throws a smile your way...<br>

Be that as it may.<br>

<br>

A man could have bad dreams and not be all he seems.<br>

Yet not be far-removed from all the noblest of extremes.<br>

Sometimes I think that sanity is just a passing fad. <br>

A man could go quite mad. <br>

<br>

Unblessed are the dull. One ceaseless, peaceless lull. <br>

One wondrous night,<br>

Storm-struck thund'rous light <br>

Will cast me right<br>

<br>

A sculptor lacking arms, a sorc'ror lacking charms,<br>

A fiend who frightens no one for there's no one that he harms.<br>

Whose clutches clutch at only desp'rate respite<br>

From this dim tableau!<br>

Knowing this is so, I hide myself in thought<br>

Where one cannot be caught <br>

and feed on dreams that contradicts each <br>

edict I've been taught<br>

And if someday I lose my way and mind, <br>

you'll find me glad -<br>

A man could go quite, man could go quite,<br>

Man could go quite mad!<br>

<br>
