Madman Across The Water

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album 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



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
