Madness! Well theyre spying on me from the tape recorders All the people say Im out of order Ive 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 Ive got a blue guitar And Im driving in my car to Abyssinia Cos life over there is better by far From Philadelphia to Jamaica Im sick to the death of the way things are Im over the abyss, cant take much more of this Dont want to kill myself you see theres too much risk The pills dont work, the gun might miss They say schizophrenias a fine madness And Im sad to say Im on my way I wont 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 dont like me I know thats because I call thin thin, I call fat fat Well I know the messiahs 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 Im 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 Im paranoid Because I say theres a big conspiracy Its a selffulfilling prophecy Ive 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 Well 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 Ive got a broken heart and my heads 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 daddys gonna buy you a diamond ring Hes got a battering ram, a battering ram And hes got a little problem with who I am From Jamaica to Philadelphia Lee Scratch Perry to Frank Sinatra Somewhere over the rainbow madness!
