Joe Andrews - Madman Lyrics

Always dreaming of better things and
You keep a boa on my life and you're squeezing
To appease him, I never speak my mind
Just a backhand, take a quick stand
Screaming treason, what's your reason?
Better see you when I'm ripe than to cease and
Your disease is just a waste of time
Sick of deadpan, he's a madman

Ooh, darling, it feels so right
Can I let the words implode? Sick of waiting on the green light
Ooh, darling, it's beauty by design

Hang me up to dry if it makes you feel alive
I'll never let you under my skin
The light behind your eyes shines on every fading lie
I've come to know the creature within
He's a madman, he's a madman

Take a number, left to wonder
What's the malady alive in the thunder?
Never one cure when you're on the dime
Fight the quick sand, it's the best plan
Still I'm unsure what to plunder
Got a hand upon the roof that I'm under
And if I blunder, I'll regret the crime
In my lifespan, he's a madman

Ooh, darling, it's not the fight
I don't wanna cut my ties 'til I know I've got the green light
Ooh, darling, he drew my one disguise

Hang me up to dry if it makes you feel alive
I'll never let you under my skin
The light behind your eyes shines on every fading lie
I've come to know the creature within
He's a madman, he's a madman

Pray to God for the madman
And don't look back, you know what's waiting
I can see it in the madman tonight
