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, 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 the madman across the water
