(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)
They try to trace her in the town Appeal for information on the local news Someone must have missed her by now A mother or a father or a friendly face to talk her down
She's heading for the great escape Heading for the rave Heading for the permanent holiday ...
(i) wave
Hold your breath ... 'till you feel it begin ... Here it comes ... Do you feel that?... ... 'Feel this? Get used to it ...
She had the face of the statue of liberty Oh free me
The fire and ice of Amazon and Eskimo Take me home
The edge and glance of high fashion Ask me about next year ...
(ii) made
Tell me I'm mad How should I know?
Tell me I'm mad I have been here for so long ...
Help me paint a picture They say it's a lie
Tell me I'm mad! You're a fine one to decide
Burn me in the fires of wild heaven Like it never would stop Tell me I'm mad Tell me I imagined that ...
Was it something I didn't say? Or was it something I said Leave that stuff alone Use me instead
I know I'm always falling off the edge of the world I got space in my bed ("Off with his head!" ... "Clearly, he's mad")
You've got Egypt in your head I've got a headful of Troy Chandeliers and Charlemagne Fireworks and toys
(iii) the opinum den
But you sleep like a ghost with me It's as simple as that So tell me I'm mad Roll me up and breathe me in Come to my madness My opium den Come to my madness Make sense of it again
(iv) the slide
Make a drug of my senses I'll get you out of your head ...
I'm sick for you ...
Love wastes us together Love holds us together Love folds us together Flowers ...
(v) standing in the swing
I don't know what you're doing here When there's murder on the street I appreciate your concern But don't waste your time on me I'm ashes on the water now Somewhere far away You think you came here just in time But you're twenty years too late You won't have long to wait
Easy You said I was easy This world sharpens teeth Eat your words ...
