Martha's Madman (Live In Europe, 1981)
Martha has a madman
Standing hidden in the shadows
He's got a long curved Turkish dagger
With a bejewelled handle
He's telling 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 up the surface and it's making 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 gettin' nervous as she wanders through his valley
Where the shadows always frightening
And the whispers tell her stories
He's telling 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 up the surface and it's making 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
What can she do
Yes it's true
What can she do
Yes it's true
(Martha has a madman)
What can she do
(Standing hidden in the shadows)
Yes it's true
(He's got a long curved Turkish dagger)
What can she do
(With a bejewelled handle)
Yes it's true
(Martha's gettin' nervous)
What can she do
(As she wanders through his valley)
Yes it's true
(Where the shadows always frightening)
What can she do
(And the whispers tell her stories)
Martha yes I guess you'll have to wait around
Another thousand years
Standing hidden in the shadows
He's got a long curved Turkish dagger
With a bejewelled handle
He's telling 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 up the surface and it's making 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 gettin' nervous as she wanders through his valley
Where the shadows always frightening
And the whispers tell her stories
He's telling 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 up the surface and it's making 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
What can she do
Yes it's true
What can she do
Yes it's true
(Martha has a madman)
What can she do
(Standing hidden in the shadows)

(And the whispers tell her stories)
Martha yes I guess you'll have to wait around
Another thousand years
