I'm Mad

(album: Return To Base.... - 1979)

I got strange excited dreams, with such strange erotic scenes, gonna sleep all day.
I get notions by the score, mostly dead against the law do them anyway
So I took a trip to see Kane's Xanadu, 'cos at the time there wasn't very much to do
I think I'm coming down, coming down

I get weird imaginings about all different kings of things, but I'm always try
To get fantasising thoughts, maybe Bardot in her shorts, like a natural guy
So I took a trip to Tutankhamun's tomb.
He was alone and said he hoped I'd come back soon

I'm mad this pounding in my brain will somebody explain, the way back to reality?
Hey you, you keep it oh so clean, your mind is so obscene You'll find another change in me.
I think I'm coming down, looking straight ahead (I think I'm coming down)
The room is spinning round, them blues'll knock me dead Yeah yeah yeah yeah

(I'm going mad, out of my head, I'm going mad)
Cos now I've given back the Top Hat to Astaire
Oh not that I expected you to really care

I'm mad this pounding in my brain
Will somebody explain, the way back to reality?
Hey you, you keep your nose so clean, your mind is so obscene
You'll find another change in me.
I think I'm coming down, (I think I'm coming down) looking straight ahead (Going out my head)
The room is spinning round, them blues'll knock me dead
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

(I'm going mad, out of my head, I'm going mad)
(I'm going mad, out of my head, I'm going mad)
