marha s madmen lane tietgen

Manfred Mann / Manfred Mann S Earth Band

Martha has a madman
Standing hidden in the shadows
He s got a long curved Turkish dagger
With a bejewelled handle

He s tellin her the world is full of freaks and geeks and simples and he s
Hiding like a leprechaun under stones and in the ripples
In the pool of time she thought she knew it - but someone threw a stone into
it
Which breaks up the surface and it s makin her nervous and it s true
What can she do - - - yes it s true
What can she do - - -
Martha yes I guess you ll have to wait around - another thousand years

Martha s gettin nervous as she wanders
Through his valley
Where the shadows always frightening
