Elton John - Madman Across The Water (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.

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.

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.

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?

@deramius You can be dead in your sin so fast you dont even know what hit you! Or you can have a slow agonizing death! I hope I am scaring some of you....... As I said, run to the cross, dont walk! RUN RUN! The end of the world is so near! Things are gonna get so much worse!

When/Where is this recording from? It's strange that they did a video to a version other than the single, but this is clearly not the version from the record. I'm so confused..

You people are insane. Jesus's words are missunderstood but it is no reason for making another war with yourself. He was just a brilliant philosopher and thats all. People can have sex with anybody they want. It's just the ethics of minding the poor children out of this whole question.
