martha's madman Songtext / Lyric

Martha’s Madman

Martha has a madman
standing hidden in the shadows
he’s got a long curved Turkish dagger
with a bejewelled handle

he’s tellin’ her the world is full of freaks and geeks and simples and he’s
hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples
in the pool of time she thought she knew it – but someone threw a stone into it
which breaks the surface and it’s makin’ her nervous and it’s true
what can she do - yes it’s true - what can she do
Martha yes I guess you’ll have to wait around - another thousand years

Martha’s getting’ nervous as she wanders
through his valley
where thes hadows always frightening
and the whispers tell her stories
