Elton John - Madness Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by gary osborneAvailable on the album a single manThe fuse is set and checked once moreThen left beside a back street doorAnd in the cold grey lightSomeone sees a shadow run through the night and out of sightThey hide inside a smoke filled roomTo hear at last the blast of doomAnd so the deed is doneThey listen to the final countdown begun, three, two, oneMadness, its a kind of madnessTat turns good men badAnd were helpless caught up in the madnessOf a world gone madThe roar of fire rings out on highAnd flames light up the black night skyA child screams out in fearA hopeless cry for help but no one is near enough to hearAs walls collapse and timbers flareThe smell of death hangs in the airWhen help at last arrivesThey try to fight the flame but nothing survives of all those livesAnd its madness, every time a victim diesThere is madness, burning in a blind mans eyesAnd its madness, hidden in the hate and painThere is madness, burning in a wild mans brainAnd its madness, every time the bullets startThere is madness, burning in a poor mans heartAnd its madness, something that we cant controlThere is madness, burning in a madmans soulMadness
