Madmen And Sinners

I. Persistence Of A Memory

There's someone in the mirror

Someone in the flame calls out my name

A history of silence a legacy of pain

Calls out my name

But no mercy no mercy at all

What's there to gain

Come heal me come feel me

The stars will fall now in vain

Learn to live and learn to forget

That's what they say

Persistence of a memory

Salvador in chains, calls out my name

But no feelings, no feelings at all

Now who's there to blame

Come to me, right through me and crawl

Crawl from this place

Come heal me, come feel me

The stars will fall now in vain

They're so far away, so far away

They're so far away, so far away

II. Water On The Brain

Look into the mirror step into the flame

Got a mental block need electric shock

I got water on the brain

It's here to stay just imagine it all

And fly away to the sun

Hallucinate for it's not too late

So long there's so long to go

Dripping from my fingers

My conscience slips away

Spinning like a top when will it ever stop

I got water on the brain

It's here to stay just imagine it all

And fly away to the sun

Hallucinate for it's not too late

So long there's so long to go

Got a funny feeling I've slowly gone insane

Better start believing I got water on the brain

A voice inside is screaming my body starts to shake

Better start believing I got water on the brain

A voice inside is screaming my body starts to shake

Come to me, right through me and crawl

Crawl from this place

Come heal me, come feel me

The stars will fall now in vain

They're so far away, so far away

They're so far away, take this knife

Save my life

III. The Good Book

Salman Rushdie tell me where you've been

There's a killer out to getcha gonna do you in

Satanic verses, written on the wall

Spill the blood of millions

In the name of John St Paul

It goes on and on, on and on

Give us this day our daily bread

That's what the good book says

There's a big fat fatwa on your head

Unraveling the future the ayatollah said

Cast away the devil, wage a holy war

Country verse country

Gonna settle ancient scores

It goes on and on, on and on

Give us this day our daily bread

That's what the good book says

It goes on and on, on and on

Give us this day but don't forget

Just what the good book says

IV. In My Head

I heard you calling out my name

Visions dancing in the frame

And as you crawl across my bed

Voices echo in my head

Now we've gone too far come to wear the scars

Let the pain last forever on the edge of life

Consecrate this night let me be your last saviour

And as you dance across my bed

Voices echo in my head

So look into my eyes tell a thousand lies

Put me under your spell this might be the last

Throw away the past no more soul left to sell

Now you're gone without a trace

Voices echo in your place

Wel I've been here before lying on the floor

When the silence awakens

A bleeding heart can melt all I ever felt

I guess I'll see you in heaven

Once again, yeah
