Lyrics and translation
Original
Shadows seem so thirsty, like to drink the stars and wear them like a cloak upon their arms.
When words won't feed me wisdom, the quiet stills my hunger, comforts, and leaves me wondering.
Oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay.
Oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay.
'Cause I am mad and you are mad and we're all mad.
Cut the strings that force me to pretend.
I will shake the hands that twisted me to death.
Embrace what I do not understand.
'Cause I am mad and you are mad and we're all mad.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Fumbling with the last stitches, the painted blue skies are unraveling, hanging on before I let them go.
Oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay.
Oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay, oh, ay.
Cut the strings that force me to pretend.
And I will shake the hands that twisted me to death.
Embrace what I do not understand.
'Cause I am mad and you are mad and we're all mad.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh
