Il testo della Madman

Thrice

Our course is coarsely plotted
On a map of shoddy dreams,
But hindsight will reveal
Time's moving faster than it seems.
Maybe i'm just selfish,
I've got nothing left to give.
I'm still a foolish boy,
I've got a lifetime left to live,

And i was swinging like a madman,
Not quite sure of what i felled,
And i might never understand
Exactly what it was i'd held,
And now i watch the sun descending
From the weathered gravel roof,
And i recall the sky once told me
That all lies lead to the truth.

So i'll look the other way,
And i'll turn a deafened ear,
And i'll talk of distant lands,
Pretend i was never here.

Reality beads on my skin
Like a slicker in the rain,
But now i feel it soaking in
And i begin to feel the pain.
I fight the urge to run to you,
This is how it has to be.
We've gotta step away right now,
We're just too close to see,

And i was swinging like a madman,
Not quite sure of what i felt,
And i might never understand
Exactly what it was i'd held,
And now i watch the sun descending
From the weathered gravel roof,
And i recall the sky once told me
That all lies lead to the truth.

So i'll look the other way,
And i'll turn a deafened ear,
And i'll talk of distant lands,
Pretend i was never here,
And i'll look the other way,
And i'll turn a deafened ear,
And i'll talk distant lands,
Pretend i was never here
