Mad Man Moon

Текст песни GENESIS - Mad Man Moon <br/> Was it summer when the river ran dry,<br />Or was it just another dam.<br />When the evil of a snowflake in June<br />Could still be a source of relief.<br />O how I love you, I once cried long ago,<br />But I was the one who decided to go.<br />To search beyond the final crest,<br />Though I'd heard it said just birds could dwell so high.<br />( )<br />So I pretended to have wings for my arms<br />And took off in the air.<br />I flew to places which the clouds never see,<br />Too close to the deserts of sand,<br />Where a thousend mirages, the shepherds of lies<br />Forced me to land and take a disguise.<br />I would welcome a horse's kick to send me back<br />If I could find a horse not made of sand.<br /><br />If this desert's all there'll ever be<br />Then tell me what becomes of me.<br />A fall of rain?<br />That must have been another of your dreams,<br />A dream of mad man moon.<br /><br />Hey man,<br />I'm the sand man,<br />And boy have I news for you;<br />They're gonna throw you in gaol<br />And you know they can't fail<br />'Cos sand is thicker than blood.<br />But a prison in sand<br />Is a haven in hell,<br />For a gaol can give you a goal<br />And a goal can find you a role<br />On a muddy pitch in Newcastle,<br />Where it rains so much<br />You can't wait for a touch<br />Of sun and sand.
