Lyrics
Can I play with madness? Yeah Give me the sense to wonder To wonder if I'm free Give me a sense of wonder To know I can be me Give me the strength to hold my head up Spit back in their face, yeah Don't need no key to unlock this door Gotta break down the walls, break out of this bad place Can I play with madness? The prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness? There's no vision there at all Can I play with madness? The prophet looked and he laughed at me Can I play with madness? He said, "You're blind, too blind to see" Oh, said, "You're too blind to see" Yeah, oh yeah I screamed aloud to the old man I said, "Don't lie and don't say you don't know I say, you'll pay for this mischief Oh, in this world or the next" Oh, he fixed me with a freezing glance The hellfires raged in his eyes "You want to know the truth, I'll tell you the truth Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire" Can I play with madness? The prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness? There's no vision there at all, hey (Can I play with madness?) Yeah The prophet looked, he laughed at me, he said Can I play with madness? He said, "You're blind, too blind to see" "Oh, listen to me" Said the prophet Can I play with madness? The prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness? There's no vision there at all Can I play with madness? The prophet looked, and he laughed at me Can I play with madness? He said, "You're blind, too blind to see" Can I play with madness? Hey, bonsoir parmi nous Hey C'est la première fois que je parle français pour une année et demie Peu dangereuse Nous avons de nouveau? Ah bah oui, c'est ça "Fear of the dark", oui Cette chanson, c'est un peu différent pour nous De faire ce type de chanson, mais, pour nous, c'est important Parce qu'il est une chanson qui est... qui est pour le cœur L'amour ce n'est pas seulement un homme qui fucke un ami Ce n'est pas L'amour, c'est-, c'est plus en bas, dans la tête, dans le cœur, dans toute la forme "Wasting love"
