Lyrics

 
here comes the madman with hisribbon tied to a lobsterand the people in the garden they allthink that he’s some kind of monstertripping through his lazy rhymelooking for a grand designhe’s not that farfrom a darker starall along his crooked linein the castle of his nightmare he isbrooding deep through the hoursand he’s guarding every towerwith a pistol made out of flowersclutching every flask of winewrapped in homespun mythic timehe’s not that farfrom a darker starall along his crooked linehe’s broken under bridges wheretime speaks in symbols of eveningblack and white they all crumble in awakeful start out of dreamingbreaking from the needful signaccounting for a world divinehe’s not that farfrom a darker starall along his crooked line
