Walking down a busy street On shards of broken glass Looking for a place to stand As you watch the bus blow past Ain't got time for questions You don't get no relief from the pain Looking for direction The time don't seem to change Hope that this is just a phase, before you go insane Hiding in the corner, the world seems so unkind Nowhere to hide, from the stare of angry eyes Shelter from the storm, is really what you seek Still holding on - you're on the edge of your seat End the madness! End the madness! End the madness! Everyday you wake up, the more you seem to learn Feel you're going nowhere, yet you've got nowhere to turn Looking for a way out You don't get no relief from the pain No, you don't! Reaching for the water, the flames are getting high You've got blisters on the palms of your hands But you can't put out the fire Wondering where the door went, the view it seemed so grand You're at the beach, and yet you're sinking in the sand This ride's become too crazy, you've done all that you can You stopped too late - Went over the edge You're a shell of a man! End the madness! End the madness! End the madness! Reaching for the water, the flames are getting high You've got blisters on the palms of your hands But you can't put out the fire Wondering where the door went, the view it seemed so grand You're at the beach, and yet you're sinking in the sand This ride's become too crazy, you've done all that you can You stopped too late - Went over the edge You're a shell of a man! End the madness! End the madness! End the madness!
