Glorious Madness

This is a glorious madness
This is madness of the heart
You got me whirling on a moonlit planet
The shape of a blue marble
My friends say my behavior's frenzied
Will this madness stop?
Yes, this feels like being possessed
And my mind is blown with this crazy love
Will the madness stop?
I'm in a state of confusion
I can't think straight
This is delirium and illusion
When will the madness stop?
Just, just put me in a straightjacket
I don't want this madness to stop
I'm on this ride until the end
And I say: Who wants to stop a merry-go-round?
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
This is a glorious madness
This is madness of the heart
You got me whirling on a moonlit planet
The shape of a blue marble
I used to feel unsure
Unsure of everything
I wanted proof of life and then you came along
Every day a new story
Every story has a twist
And every twist brings a new adventure
We won't bother to say we're sorry
We won't bother to explain
That we still believe in magic
And we're living a fairytale
This is delirium and illusion
When will the madness stop?
Just, just put me in a straightjacket
I don't, I don't want this madness to stop
I'm on this ride until the end
And I say: Who wants to stop a merry-go-round?
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
Most times you want it to go faster
This is a glorious madness
This is madness of the heart
You got me whirling on a moonlit planet
The shape of a blue marble
This is a glorious madness
This is madness of the heart
You got me whirling on a moonlit planet
The shape of a blue marble
This is a glorious madness
This is madness of the heart
You got me whirling on a moonlit planet
The shape of a blue marble
