All the Madmen Lyrics - David Bowie

1 Day after day

2 They send my friends away

3 To mansions cold and grey

4 To the far side of town

5 Where the thin men stalk the streets

6 While the sane stay underground

7 Day after day

8 They tell me I can go

9 They tell me I can blow

10 To the far side of town

11 Where it's pointless to be high

12 'Cause it's such a long way down

13 So I tell them that

14 I can fly, I will scream

15 I will break my arm

16 I will do me harm

17 Here I stand

18 Foot in hand

19 Talking to my wall

20 I'm not quite right at all

21 Am I?

22 Don't set me free

23 I'm as heavy as can be

24 Just my librium and me

25 And my E.S.T. makes three

26 'Cause I'd rather stay here

27 With all the madmen

28 Than perish with the sad men roaming free

29 And I'd rather play here

30 With all the madmen

31 For I'm quite content they're all as sane as me

32 (Where can the horizon lie

33 When a nation hides

34 Its organic minds

35 In a cellar

36 Dark and grim

37 They must be very dim)

38 Day after day

39 They take some brain away

40 Then turn my face around

41 To the far side of town

42 And tell me that it's real

43 Then ask me how I feel

44 Here I stand

45 Foot in hand

46 Talking to my wall

47 I'm not quite right at all

48 Don't set me free

49 I'm as helpless as can be

50 My libido's split on me

51 Gimme some good 'ole lobotomy

52 'Cause I'd rather stay here

53 With all the madmen

54 Than perish with the sad men

55 Roaming free

56 And I'd rather play here

57 With all the madmen

58 For I'm quite content

59 They're all as sane as me

60 Zane, Zane, Zane

61 Ouvre le Chien
