John, Elton - Madness Lyrics
The fuse is set and checked once more
Then left beside a back street door
And in the cold grey light
Someone sees a shadow run through the night and out of sight
They hide inside a smoke filled room
And so the deed is done
They listen to the final countdown begun, three, two, one
Madness, it's a kind of madness
Tat turns good men bad
And we're helpless caught up in the madness
Of a world gone mad
The roar of fire rings out on high
And flames light up the black night sky
A hopeless cry for help but no one is near enough to hear
As walls collapse and timbers flare
The smell of death hangs in the air
When help at last arrives
They try to fight the flame but nothing survives of all those lives
And it's madness, every time a victim dies
There is madness, burning in a blind man's eyes
And it's madness, hidden in the hate and pain
There is madness, burning in a wild man's brain
And it's madness, every time the bullets start
There is madness, burning in a poor man's heart
And it's madness, something that we can't control
There is madness, burning in a madman's soul
Madness

John, Elton Madness Comments
love this song
alton john ❤ i need some Cock
line high quality
from libya 🎸
when listen this song
i feel over the sky
brandiwell cool...me too.
Elton always manages to punch out some fine rockers, but this song would strongly represent the country and world we live in today more than it did some 40 years ago. "A World Gone Mad" is so fitting.
A really underrated song. This one should have been a major hit.
I was crazy about this song when I was fourteen. I'd dance to it in my almost completely dark room until I dropped in exhaustion. Amazing memories.
Brandiwell ...and probably you're not the only one 😬😁😉🎵🎵🎵
of a world gone mad. sung in 1978.... today is 2016 -- hope you know what I mean....
Yeah watch those evil progressives
the best singer of all time...
very Piano-oriented song. crazy as Ego.
Cool song....
amazingly haunting and beautiful. The piano slays me.
Sadly, always so aptly applicable to "humanity"...
