I’m feeling madness
Like an unwanted guest in my home
You’re cramping my style
And all the while
You said that you’d leave me alone
You dropped your sadness
With a clatter and clang on my floor
You’re raising the dead 
With the tears that you’ve shed
And you always come asking for more

Oh, I can look after you
Like I always do.

I’ll build a fortress
Like the old fashioned fairy tale kind
With high tower walls
To make you feel small
And to keep all my madness inside

Under my mattress
I keep boxes of beautiful dreams
And late at night
When no one’s in sight 
They come out and whisper to me

Oh, I can look after you
Like I always do
