The Madman

Well, it's a silent shriek without a sound
He's a-coming soon to your small town, yeah

He's searching for something he won't find
He's a mad, mad man with a mad, mad mind, hey
Half a fifth of Jack Daniels
He wipes his nose and a-takes a pull
He ain't young, he ain't old
He's a troubled man with a morbid soul, yeah

Oh, the madman coming here

He don't answer to no one
He's no ones papa, he's no ones son, yeah
He won't sleep 'till they're dead
He's got a swazi on the top of his head, yeah
Down from the heavens from which he fell
A demon child a-sent straight from hell
Throws one more shot of bourbon back
He's a mean motherfucker, he's a man in black, hey

Oh, the madman come here

And the pigs are on his heels
Guns are drawn he's in their sights
They think they've got their leads
But he's a friend of the night

Like the ravage of a holy flood
Three lay dead in a pool of blood, yeah
Above broken bodies, madness stands
Blood on his beard and blood on his hands
Hides in the shadows of the still of the night
You won't see him coming no, no
Done the deed and flees the scene
Out of the corner of your eye you see the madman running

Oh, the madman come here

Oh, the pigs are on his heels
Guns are drawn he's in their sights
And they think they've got their leads
But he's a friend of the night

And as they follow the trail of blood
Now they know they've got their mark
But the madman can't be found
He disappears into the dark

Well, it's a silent shriek without a sound
Well he's coming soon to your small town, yeah
He's searching for something he won't find
He's a mad, mad man with a mad, mad mind, yeah
Like an animal out of his den
You better hide your money, better hide your children
You can't keep your fear at bay
Cause the madman roamin' these streets today

Oh, the madman come here
Oh, the madman come here
Oh, the madman come here
Oh, the madman come here
