[ Elton John (with Mick Ronson) ]

ノ

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 better get your coat, dear
It looks like rain, yeah

We’ll come again next thursday afternoon
The in-laws 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 really 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 in-laws hope they’ll see you very soon
But is it in your conscience that you’re after
Another glimpse of a madman across the water
