The Madman Running Through the Fields

The Police

3

You ask me how

I've become mad now

There was a day,

I had so much say

What of my feet?

Life seemed to be sweet

I was admired

but I was so tired

Go through the dam

Lion and lamb

Know what you're sayin'?

Know what you're sayin'?!!!?!

Things went okay,

and then one day, "Pow!"

I can expound

with the new words found

If reasons gone,

how do I live on?

Because I know

which way I must go

Where can I go,

now that I know

time has gone by?

Time has gone by

Isn't that the madman,

running through the fields?

Isn't that the madman?

Wonder how he feels...

You look at me,

what do you see now?

Is it so bad,

or am I just sad?

Are you in doubt?

There is a way out

I've seen the crack

I cannot come back

I'm not afraid

Sticks out a way

into the tide

Be by my side

Isn't that the madman,

running through the fields?

Isn't that the madman?

Wonder how he feels...
