Wicked man's rest
You can say I'm madYou can say I'm crazyBut I'm only as badAs the maker who made me
Sinner in the darknessLiar in the churchDeaf man's silenceThe blind man's search
Teardrop fallingMemory recallingGhost in your dreamsAnd your secret recordings
Mad man's matchesLump in your throatThe pea under your mattressThe hole in your coat
Singer with the sound downWinner on the come downPoet in the overcoatLooking for a suntan
On his birthdayPrisoner on his first dayTired of the new wave
I rise to meet youAs your trust dissolves to shameOh, this innocence has turned and lost its wayRetrace the footprintsOff the path from which I cameI'm the beast in you, the beast in me
(Which way are we going?The doors close in an hour)
You can say I'm madYou can say I'm crazyBut I'm only as badAs the maker who made me
Needle for the userThe pain in your chestBeggar and the chooserThe wicked man's rest
Fear in the stuntmanSneer in the playgroundBottle in the handOf a dirty old drunk man
Leaf fallingAutumn callingDark clouds forming
I rise to meet youAs your trust dissolves to shameOh, this innocence has turned and lost its wayRetrace the footprintsOff the path from which I cameI'm the beast in you, the beast in me
Bite my nailsRight down to the skinWhere one trust endsAnd another lie begins
Patch over holesIn my weakened heartWhich angels holdAnd devils pull apart
I'm the beast in youThe beast in meThe bitterness, the jealousyThe part of you that never sleeps
(Are you my angel?Will we walk all night through solitary streets?)
And you hardly can imagineWhat you never had beforeAnd the reason that you're givenStill leaves you wanting more
I rise to meet youAs your trust dissolves to shameOh, this innocence has turned and lost its wayRetrace the footprintsOff the path from which I cameI'm the beast in you, the beast in meThe bitterness, the jealousyThe part of you that never sleeps
