martha's madman

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 making 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

and the whispers tell her stories

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 making 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

(what can she do --- yes it's true

what can she do --- yes it's true

what can she do --- yes it's true.)

martha yes i guess you'll have to wait around - another thousand years
