Madhouse
Jack Bruce Lyrics

Welcome... to the Madhouse...
You are entering a crazy and chaotic place.

Here ghost wail and moan
Spirits make eerie and mournful sounds.

Skeletons rattle trying to escape there prisoning coffins (Wicked Shit)
Bones make noise as if they want to break free from their confinement.

Grimlins and skulls gasp a death (ICP Tech N9ne)
The creatures in the Madhouse are gasping for their last breaths or signifying their death.

You have enterd the Mad House
You are now inside the insane asylum.

Sombody open the fuckin door and let me in!
The singer demands to be let into the Madhouse.

The worlds are about to get me again
The world's problems are overwhelming the singer.

Shit ain't pretend I'm safer in the madhouse
The artist feels more protected and safe in the Madhouse than in the real world.

Clinging to the selene like a spider
The artist holds on to the Moon (the symbol of insanity), like a spider clings to its web.

I'm out of your mind like frozen fire
The artist has lost their mind and is no longer under control, like a fire that is frozen.

Razorblade fingers scratchin my neck
The singer is experiencing physical pain from unknown causes.

Lost in the maze I found a dragon barbeque in the back
The artist is lost in the chaotic environment of the Madhouse and stumbles upon an unexpected and surreal sight.

A arm came out of the toilet and squaws my balls

I wanna see you!

I hear you!

I catch spirits and ghosts by there invisible throats and then tear through (tear through)
The artist is able to capture and overpower ghosts and spirits in the Madhouse.

Never scary boo bitch I'm a kamikaze
The singer is fearless and willing to take risks like a kamikaze pilot.

Swimmin through the living room watching joni and chachi
The singer is moving through the Madhouse, watching strange scenes and events unfold.

And then I realize I'm potsy trapped in the tv
The artist sees a surreal and chaotic vision that may have been inspired by the TV show Happy Days.

Sombody changed the channel and got the better of me

The singer has control over the Madhouse and decides who can enter or leave.

So many dimensions and lines except for these levels of dips and devil

Ain't been alright sense the ghetto better wait for my temper settle

Cause my mind is a madhouse the n9ne fittin spaz out

Sometimes when I lash out I pass out how sick and insanse and vain can this be

Level of madness extasy shrooms and acid
The Madhouse is filled with extreme states of mind, often caused by drug use.

Beats release but you can't find me in lake placid
The singer is not found in any calm or peaceful place, but always amidst chaos.

Finnaly in missouri dissily struttin with a bad bitch

The repeated lines emphasize the chaos and madness of the environment.

Let me out the Madhouse
The singer desperately wants to leave the insane asylum.
