Madman Across The Water

Music by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Album Madman Across The Water 1971

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.

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 black
Or are the windows painted?
Will they come again next week,
Can my mind really take it?
