It's a silent shriek without a sound He's coming' soon to your small town He's searching for something he won't find He's a mad, mad man with a mad, mad mind Half a fifth of jack daniels He wipes his nose and takes a pull He ain't young, he ain't old He's a troubled man with a morbid soul yeah Oh, the mad man coming He don't answer to no one He's no one's papa, he's no one's son He won't sleep till' they're dead He's got a swazi on the top of his head Down from the heavens from which he fell A demon child sent straight from hell Throws one more shot of bourbon back He's a mean motherfucker; he's a man in black Oh, the mad man coming The pigs are on his heels Guns are drawn he's in their sights They think they've got their leads But he's a friend of the night Like the ravage of a holy flood Three lay dead in a pool of blood, yeah Above broken bodies madness stands Blood on his beard and blood on his hands Hides in the shadows of the still of the night You won't see him coming no, no Done the deed and flees the scene Out of the corner of your eye you see the mad man running Oh, the mad man coming The pigs are on his heels Guns are drawn he's in their sights They think they've got their leads But he's a friend of the night They follow the trail of blood Now they know they've got their mark But the madman can't be found Disappears into the dark It's a silent shriek without a sound Well he's coming soon to your small town He's searching for something he won't find He's a mad, mad man with a mad, mad mind Like an animal out of his den You better hide your money better hide your children You can't keep your fear at bay Cause the madman roams these streets today Oh, the madman coming Oh, the madman coming Oh, the madman coming Oh, the mad man coming
