there's summer madness in the air
exasperation, despair,
communication breakdown everywhere
we have our wires crossed but
here's a language we all understand
so why don't we speak
and make things clear - tonight
a-a-a-a-a-a-h
there's summer madness in the air
controversial, satirical,
all that's perverse, all hysterical
we share a constant craving,
the sublime to the ridiculous
so we have our feet on
common ground - tonight
a-a-a-a-a-a-h
laughing
crying
dying to be happy
happy when there's madness
you've got to work at working
playing
living
living for the moment - dying
dying for the ultimate dream
there's summer madness in the air
capital crimes, political,
complex debate all so typical
we don't see eye to eye but
there's a line we all have to draw
or we'll be getting away with murder 4
a-a-a-a-a-a-h
there's summer madness in the air
there's something changing to
the tune we used to whistle to
the flags are out, the trumpets blowing,
the wind's changing direction
we're looking towards the new millennium
a-a-a-a-a-a-h
