Madman Across The Water (feat. Mick Ronson) - Elton John & Britney Spears

I can see very well There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word I'm a madman don't you know Once a fool had a good part in the play If it's so would I still be here today It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way They think it's very funny everything I say Get a load of him, he's so insane You better get your coat dear It looks like rain We'll come again next Thursday afternoon The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon But is it in your conscience that you're after Another glimpse of the madman across the water I can see very well There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word I'm a madman don't you know The ground's a long way down but I need more Is the nightmare black Or are the windows painted Will they come again next week Can my mind really take it

The next song is the title track from an album we made Or album we've made And it's called "Madman Across The Water" I can see, very well There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word, I'm a madman, don't you know Once a fool had a good part in the play If it's so would I still be here today? It's quite peculiar in a funny sort of way They think it's very funny everything I say Get a load of him, he's so insane You better get your coat, dear, it looks like rain We'll come again next Thursday afternoon The In-laws hope they'll see you very soon But is it in your conscience that you're after Another glimpse of the madman across the water I can see, very well There's a boat on the reef with a broken back And I can see it very well There's a joke and I know it very well It's one of those that I told you long ago Take my word, I'm a madman, don't you know The battle long went down but I need more Is the nightmare black or are the windows painted? Will they come again next week, can my mind really take it? We'll come again next Thursday afternoon The in-laws hope they'll see you very soon But is it in your conscience that you're after Another glimpse of the madman across the water

Cool grass blowing up the pass Don't you know I'm feeling mellow I love your roman nose, the way you curl your toes, baby Make me feel so mellow It's the same old feeling I get when you're stealing Back into my bed again With the curtains closed and the window froze By the rhythm of the rain You make me mellow, you make me mellow Rocking smooth and slow Mellow's the feeling that we get Watching the coal fire glow You make me mellow, I make you mellow Wrecking the sheets real fine Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord But God this is a mellow time Going down to the stores in town Getting all the things we need Don't forget the beer, my little dear It helps to sow the mellow seed And it can't be bad, all the love I've had Coursing through my life Down in the pass where the wind blows fast And mellow's, mellow's feeling right You make me mellow, you make me mellow Rocking smooth and slow Mellow's the feeling that we get Watching the coal fire glow You make me mellow, I make you mellow Wrecking the sheets real fine Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord God this is a mellow time You make me mellow, you make me mellow Rocking smooth and slow Mellow's the feeling that we get Watching the coal fire glow You make me mellow, I make you mellow Wrecking the sheets real fine Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord But God this is a mellow time You make me mellow, I make you mellow Wrecking the sheets real fine Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord But God this is a mellow time Wrecking the sheets real fine Heaven knows what you sent me, Lord But God this is a mellow time
