Wicked Man's Rest
You can say I'm mad
You can say I'm crazy
But I'm only as bad
As the maker who made me
Sinner in the darkness
Liar in the church
Deaf man's silence
The blind man's search
Teardrop fallin'
Memory recallin'
Ghost in your dreams
And your secret recordings
Mad man's matches
Lump in your throat
The pea under your mattress
The hole in your coat
Singer with the sound down
Winner on the come down
Poet in the overcoat
Looking for a suntan
On his birthday
Prisoner on his first day
Tired of the new wave
I rise to meet you
As your trust dissolves to shame
Oh, this innocence
Has turned and lost its way
Retrace the footprints
Off the path from which I came
I'm the beast in you, the beast in me
(Which way are we going?
The doors close in an hour)
You can say I'm mad
You can say I'm crazy
But I'm only as bad
As the maker who made me
Needle for the user
The pain in your chest
Beggar and the chooser
The wicked man's rest
Fear in the stuntman
Sneer in the playground
Bottle in the hand
Of a dirty old drunk man
Leaf fallin'
Autumn callin'
Dark clouds formin'
I rise to meet you
As your trust dissolves to shame
Oh, this innocence
Has turned and lost its way
Retrace the footprints
Off the path from which I came
I'm the beast in you, the beast in me
Bite my nails
Right down to the skin
Where one trust ends
And another lie begins
Patch over holes
In my weakened heart (heart)
Which angels hold
And devils pull apart (oh)
I'm the beast in you, the beast in me
The bitterness, the jealousy
The part of you that never sleeps
(Are you my angel?
Will we walk all night?
Through solitary streets?)
And you hardly can imagine
What you never had before
And the reason that you're given
Still leaves you wantin' more
And you hardly can imagine
What you never had before
And the reason that you're given
Still leaves you wantin' more
I rise to meet you, yeah
As your trust dissolves to shame
Oh, this innocence
Has turned and lost its way
Retrace the footprints, oh
Off the path from which I came
I'm the beast in you, the beast in me
The bitterness, the jealousy
The part of you that never sleeps
You can say I'm crazy
But I'm only as bad
As the maker who made me
Sinner in the darkness
Liar in the church
Deaf man's silence
The blind man's search
Teardrop fallin'
Memory recallin'
Ghost in your dreams
And your secret recordings
Mad man's matches
Lump in your throat
The pea under your mattress
The hole in your coat
Singer with the sound down
Winner on the come down
Poet in the overcoat
Looking for a suntan

Prisoner on his first day
Tired of the new wave
I rise to meet you
As your trust dissolves to shame
Oh, this innocence
Has turned and lost its way
Retrace the footprints

I'm the beast in you, the beast in me
