Lyrics:
Madness! Well they're spying on me from the tape recorders All the people say I'm out of order I've been sent to Earth from outer space As a warning to the human race Well the dogs are howling at the moon And an orchestra is out of tune I've got a blue guitar And I'm driving in my car to Abyssinia Cos life over there is better by far From Philadelphia to Jamaica I'm sick to the death of the way things are I'm over the abyss, can't take much more of this Don't want to kill myself you see there's too much risk The pills don't work, the gun might miss They say schizophrenia's a fine madness And I'm sad to say I'm on my way I won't be back for many a day Well the bank is stealing all my cash I know that flight 13 is going to crash I know that people don't like me I know that's because I call thin thin, I call fat fat Well I know the messiah's coming down I had to leave my little girl in Kingston town So tell me how far to Abyssinia The second on the left after Jamaica I'm driving in my car, running way far From things as they are... Schizophrenia! There are forces out to destroy me And I know you think I'm paranoid Because I say there's a big conspiracy It's a self-fulfilling prophecy I've got a blue guitar Wishing 'pon a star Wishing 'pon a star Sitting in a bar with a broken heart What do you call it when your life falls apart? Schizophrenia, schizophrenia Carry me away to Abyssinia We'll play a little song of the way things are For things are changed upon a blue guitar Things are changed upon a synthesiser All the ladies in the house go 'Lah dee dah' Listen to the man with the blue guitar Shake up your bosom take it out of your bra Fruits in the pockets of a cornucopia Schizophrenia, schizophrenia I've got a broken heart and my head's in a mess And the train is at the station and the steam begin to Hiss Take me anywhere away from all this! Toss the caber, do the highland fling Your daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring He's got a battering ram, a battering ram And he's got a little problem with who I am From Jamaica to Philadelphia Lee Scratch Perry to Frank Sinatra Somewhere over the rainbow: madness!
