your heart would be the color blue
it would be a gradient from there till your body met your hair
which remained a silver hue

just a mission and a gun to paint rainbows in vietnam
and a heart that always told you there's a madness in us all
there's a madness in us all

so who broke the rules

girls all you girls

but he was born of this world

and there may not be a heaven or a place of which to send you
but you know in the end there's a madness in us all
there's a madness in us all
there's a madness in us all
there's a madness in us all
