Madman Across The Water — текст песни (Elton John)

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 better get your coat dear
It looks like rain

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 black
or are the windows painted
Will they come again next week
Can my mind really take it
