David Bowie - All The Madmen Lyrics
Day after dayThey send my friends awayTo mansions cold and greyTo the far side of townWhere the thin men stalk the streetsWhile the sane stay undergroundDay after dayThey tell me I can goThey tell me I can blowTo the far side of townWhere its pointless to be highcause its such a long way downSo I tell them thatI can fly, I will scream, I will break my armI will do me harmHere I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wallIm not quite right at all...am i?Dont set me free, Im as heavy as can beJust my librium and meAnd my e.s.t. makes threecause Id rather stay hereWith all the madmenThan perish with the sadmen roaming freeAnd Id rather play hereWith all the madmenFor Im quite content theyre all as saneAs me(where can the horizon lieWhen a nation hidesIts organic mindsIn a cellar...dark and grimThey must be very dim)Day after dayThey take some brain awayThen turn my face aroundTo the far side of townAnd tell me that its realThen ask me how I feelHere I stand, foot in hand, talking to my wallIm not quite right at allDont set me free, Im as helpless as can beMy libidos split on meGimme some good ole lobotomycause Id rather stay hereWith all the madmenThan perish with the sadmenRoaming freeAnd Id rather play hereWith all the madmenFor Im quite contentTheyre all as sane as meZane, zane, zaneOuvre le chienZane, zane, zaneOuvre le chienZane, zane, zane (ah ah ah)Ouvre le chienZane, zane, zane (ah ah ah)Ouvre le chienZane, zane, zane (ah ah ah)Ouvre le chienZane, zane, zane (ah ah ah)Ouvre le chienZane, zane, zane (ah ah ah)Ouvre le chienZane, zane, zane (ah ah ah)Ouvre le chienZane, zane, zane (ah ah ah)Ouvre le chienZane, zane, zane (ah ah ah)Ouvre le chienZane, zane, zane (ah ah ah)Ouvre le chien
