A nightmare that came true (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
A clouded mind won't guide you through
Longing for connection (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
But there's no one to get close to (ooh-ooh)
The young and restless in the city (ooh-ooh)
They overrun the streets at night (ooh-ooh)
Buildings bursting into flames (ooh-ooh)
While they dance under the lights
Oh, it's a mad, mad world
A mad, mad world
It's a mad, mad world
A mad, mad world
And it's quiet like a desert road (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
There's nothing here for me anyway
No there's nothing natural (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And her beauty wasn't surface based
It get more restless in the city (ooh-ooh)
With every day that passes by
We're all just candles in the wind (ooh-ooh)
Hoping to burn another night
Oh, in this mad, mad world
This mad, mad world
In this mad, mad world
Mad, mad world
It get more restless in the city
With every day that passes by
