It’s almost impossible to say another word When you’re watching for the fall guy To pin the blame you pin the neighbor For spending too much time on the phone with the police
Close your eyes there’s nothing waiting Everything takes pain and patience sometimes In a second news is flashing and you’re in it Watching on channel 5
(Where’s the madness?)
Add some salt unto the salted until your mouth is bleeding Read a book and count the days that pass while you are sleeping Sleeping is a joke in phases on the nights you’re dying Leave the paper on the table so I’ll know you’re lying
Where’s the madness in my vision Where’s the madness in my vision
The whiter your teeth, the whiter your smile The whiter your life, the whiter your living Take the bleachers, take the game, and the champions Line the future with the bones of spines your swore were missing Knit it all together with the wish you keep on wishing
Where’s the madness in my vision Where’s the madness in my vision
Keep the band together, have a supper, watch a ballgame Ride the coast, the tide, the wave, will keep you moving east Keep your eyes upon the sky the moon is only watching Behind the moon there is a man His necktie he’s untying
Where’s the madness in my vision Where’s the madness, your derision Fuels my madness, fuels my vision Madness, vision
I left a cherry in the tower By the television Take it lover with another make a quick decision If I never see you again will you still remember What I left you in that tower haunts me to this very hour What I left you in that tower haunts me to this very hour
