Elton John - 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

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

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
