Tim Donahue - Madmen And Sinners lyrics

I. Persistence Of A Memory There's someone in the mirror Someone in the flame calls out my name A history of silence a legacy of pain Calls out my name But no mercy no mercy at all What's there to gain Come heal me come feel me The stars will fall now in vain Learn to live and learn to forget That's what they say Persistence of a memory Salvador in chains, calls out my name But no feelings, no feelings at all Now who's there to blame Come to me, right through me and crawl Crawl from this place Come heal me, come feel me The stars will fall now in vain They're so far away, so far away They're so far away, so far away II. Water On The Brain Look into the mirror step into the flame Got a mental block need electric shock I got water on the brain It's here to stay just imagine it all And fly away to the sun Hallucinate for it's not too late So long there's so long to go Dripping from my fingers My conscience slips away Spinning like a top when will it ever stop I got water on the brain It's here to stay just imagine it all And fly away to the sun Hallucinate for it's not too late So long there's so long to go Got a funny feeling I've slowly gone insane Better start believing I got water on the brain A voice inside is screaming my body starts to shake Better start believing I got water on the brain A voice inside is screaming my body starts to shake Come to me, right through me and crawl Crawl from this place Come heal me, come feel me The stars will fall now in vain They're so far away, so far away They're so far away, take this knife Save my life III. The Good Book Salman Rushdie tell me where you've been There's a k**er out to getcha gonna do you in Satanic verses, written on the wall Spill the blood of millions In the name of John St Paul It goes on and on, on and on Give us this day our daily bread That's what the good book says There's a big fat fatwa on your head Unraveling the future the ayatollah said Cast away the devil, wage a holy war Country verse country Gonna settle ancient scores It goes on and on, on and on Give us this day our daily bread That's what the good book says It goes on and on, on and on Give us this day but don't forget Just what the good book says IV. In My Head I heard you calling out my name Visions dancing in the frame And as you crawl across my bed Voices echo in my head Now we've gone too far come to wear the scars Let the pain last forever on the edge of life Consecrate this night let me be your last saviour And as you dance across my bed Voices echo in my head So look into my eyes tell a thousand lies Put me under your spell this might be the last Throw away the past no more soul left to sell Now you're gone without a trace Voices echo in your place Wel I've been here before lying on the floor When the silence awakens A bleeding heart can melt all I ever felt I guess I'll see you in heaven Once again, yeah
