I, Madness

Whirling, swirling, crimson skirts

You get a man right where it hurts

I'm staring at you from the shadowland

Eyes glazed open with a cup in my hand

And you're teasing, teasing as if you really care

I am wheezing, wheezing, I need a little air

It was the last night of summer

Rally 'round the fire

I was feeling kind of sober

Could have been desire

You said you needed a lift

The timing was surreal

Let's make a deal

Let's make a deal

But you better let go of the wheel now

I ain't been good for nothin'

Drivin' us over a cliff now, baby

I wanna total something

I wanna total something

And you're teasing, teasing as if you really care

I am wheezing, wheezing, I need a little air

I was staring in the rearview

Practicing a pass

You were there in the rearview

I was losing it fast

You said you needed a lift

The timing was surreal

Let's make a deal

Let's make a deal

But you better let go of the wheel now

I ain't been good for nothin'

Drivin' us over a cliff now, baby

I wanna total something

I wanna total something

It was the last of December

All the mistletoe was brown

Another year down the crapper

You were counting it down

And now you're begging for a lift

The timing is surreal...

Maybe I'm blessed with a witless tongue

Maybe I'm cursed with imagination

I keep forgetting why we've never kissed

I keep forgetting you don't know that I exist

You better let go of the wheel now

I ain't been good for nothin'

Drivin' us over a cliff now, baby

I wanna total something

You better let go of the wheel now

I ain't been good for nothin'

Drivin' us over a cliff now, baby

I wanna total something

I wanna total something
