The Madman

It's a silent shriek without a sound

He's coming' soon to your small town

He's searching for something he won't find

He's a mad, mad man with a mad, mad mind

Half a fifth of Jack Daniels

He wipes his nose and takes a pull

He ain't young he ain't old

He's a troubled man with a morbid soul

Oh, the mad man cometh

He don't answer to no one

He's no ones papa he's no ones son

He won't sleep till' they're dead

He's got a swazi on the top of his head

Down from the heavens from which he fell

A demon child sent straight from hell

Throws one more shot of bourbon back

He's a mean motherfucker; he's a man in black

Oh, the mad man cometh

Like the ravage of a holy flood

Three lay dead in a pool of blood

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 dead and flees the scene

Out of the corner of your eye you see the mad man running

Oh, the mad man cometh

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

They follow the trail of blood

Now they know they've got their mark

But the madman can't be found

Disappears into the dark

It's a silent shriek without a sound

Well he's coming soon to your small town

He's searching for something he won't find

He's a mad, mad man with a mad, mad mind

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 roams these streets today

Oh, the madman cometh
