One, two, three, one, two, three One, two One, two, three, one, two, three One, two You say yes I say inferno Careful, loose rocks And yet a chamber quartet plays there They say nothing comes to those who sit and stare They take their walls with them outside And into the sun Madness in Heaven Madness in Heaven Ever since I was 14 Ever since I was 7 Madness in Heaven I slept-walked off the ramparts and crashed upon the shore I'm doing it again Over hills, through the fences That multiply and divide the land I can't stand it anymore This beating heart lacks a future Peter Greenaway breeds contempt in his onlookers Peter Greenaway wrote a song about hookers It wasn't worth it, he shouldn't have done it It wasn't worth it, he shouldn't have done it She took a long cold look at me She walked on by as did I It's getting dark, too dark to see Peter Greenaway A rose by any other name A tinker's f*ck Oh where, oh where have you been? What could it possibly mean? On trombone, Peter Greenaway In the doomed greenhouse Naked and dead Naked and dead Naked and then dead First naked and then dead First naked and then dead I feel disfigured like time threw acid in my face On my hands and body Nightmarish nights Day-dreamy days You work on plays trying to get it right But you get it all wrong Every last word, every song I'm in a shit frame-of-mind I said to my accuser I can't believe this moment's unfurling The mirror's zero-ending Shot down autumn moon Nothing for an arrow Madness in Heaven Them's the breaks You win some, you lose You win some, you lose You snooze Somnambulist blues The wonder's all around us And disappears in a series Of puffs, lame clues Somnambulist blues
