Martha`s Madman Lyrics

Martha has a madman

Standing hidden in the shadows

He's got a long
curved Turkish dagger

With a bejewelled handle



He's tellin'
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 tellin' 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

What can she do --- yes it's
true...)



Martha yes I guess you'll have to wait around - another
thousand years
