Alexandra Riorden - Madcap Laughs Lyrics

Madcap laughs as he does his paperwork
Fits neatly into boxes
And the rest, it will be burned
He's shut his eyes to options
All love has left him spurned
He's locking up the office
Automatic, every turn
Oh I, I know
Oh I, although I've been told I've gone the wrong way
Well who am I supposed to be?
I don't feel right in any places I have been
He's on a trail of numbers,
Lines and margins left unsaid
While I've been plagued by dizzy spinning patterns in my head
He goes to bed so early
But he never dreams at night
His life makes him so angry
But he's never picked a fight
Oh I, I know
Oh I, although I've been told I've gone the wrong way
Well who am I supposed to be?
I don't look much like any faces I have seen
This man serves as my omen
If my tea leaves should be read
His choice disguised as curse, beyond security of bread
His sanity's insanity
To think a cycle straight ahead
The window to the world is wide
I lay awake in bed
Oh I, I know
Oh I, although I've been told I've gone the wrong way
Well who am I supposed to be?
Is there no path through all the shadows of the trees
Well who am I supposed to be?
I've heard those lies
Now I've no choice but to be free
