Cool This Madness Down Lyrics - Singles - Common Rider

Man without a rudder is ruled by the sea 

Lost all anchors somewhere in the deep 

Lover of machines-adrift in schemes 

Cast his lot among rootless thieves 

Nightlife swings in the gateway towns 

but out here in the inches there's a ship going down 

The sailor keeps swallowing siren smoke 

Dreaming of a kiss, just beyond the choke. 

These strange nights and days- 

These numbers taking our names 

Chorus: 

Cool this madness down 

Sop it right on time 

Got one last chance better cool itdown 

Before it takes our life 

Man without bearings straggles in the wood 

Counting on the wolf to forget about blood 

Stacking up blocks for the god of numbers 

Playing slow pitch with the angels of slumber 

Now he is alone with the things he made 

Shaking n the afterburn arcade 

Games distract but they don't appease 

What they attract they will not release 

These strange nights and days- 

These numbers taking out names 

Chorus 

Cool this madness down 

Dance in a redemption town 

Chant down desolation 

Conscius movement come 

Cool this madness down 

(repeat) 

Chorus
