Madman Across The Water Lyrics - Madman Across The Water - Elton John

I can see very well. 

There's a boat on the reef with a broken back 

And I can see it very well. 

There's a joke and I know it very well, 

It's one of those that I told you long ago. 

Take my word I'm a madman don't you know. 

Once a fool had a good part in the play, 

If it's so would I still be here today? 

It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way, 

They think it's very funny everything I say. 

Get a load of him, he's so insane 

You'd better get your coat dear 

It looks like rain.

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon. 

The inlaws hope they'll see you very soon. 

But is it in your conscience that you're after 

Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water. 

I can see very well. 

There's a boat on the reef with a broken back 

And I can see it very well. 

There's a joke and I know it very well, 

It's one of those that I told you long ago. 

Take my word I'm a madman don't you know. 

The ground's a long way down but I need more. 

Is the nightmare black 

Or are the windows painted? 

Will they come again next week, 

Can my mind really take it? 

We'll come again next Thursday afternoon. 

The inlaws hope they'll see you very soon. 

But is it in your conscience that you're after 

Another glimpse of the Madman across the Water.
