[Verse 1]
In quiet moments I hear the noise
Mad man's been here since I was a boy
Mindless thoughts keep humming along
Somebody’s singing that endless song
Keep looking for peace, but peace brings war
Maybe it's war that I'm looking for
I got no need for an enemy
This mad man is a friend to me

[Verse 2]
Step aside as I hear a voice
Do not move if you have any choice
I see no rope but I’m being pulled
Caught in-between the king and the fool
Held so tight that I lost control
He used to say I never had it all
If clarity is the enemy
Why does it always look clear to me?

[Pre-Chorus]
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
[Hook]
I am a mad man
I am a mad man
I am a mad mad man
I am a mad mad man
I am a mad mad man
I am a mad mad man

[Verse 3]
I could not understand
I have a mad mad plan
If only I had patience for love
I would have seen I'd always had enough

I never had much patience for love
I should have seen I'd always had enough

[Hook 2]
But I am a mad man
I am a mad man
I am a mad man
I am a mad man

[Verse 4]
Find myself at the end of a day
Lone man walking an endless parade
And every one that passes me by
Keeps me up if I look in their eye
Each one I've held and loved before
They never have what I'm looking for
If I call you all my enemies
I'll never know who's a friend to me
[Pre-Chorus]
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man
I see a mad man

[Hook]
I am a mad man
I am a mad man
I am a mad mad man
I am a mad mad man
I am a mad mad man
I am a mad mad man
I am
