SIDE A

1. CAN I PLAY WITH MADNESS

Can I play with madness?

Give me the sense to wonder, to wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder, to know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door, gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place...

Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me, he said
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see
Oh, he said you're too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man, I said don't lie, don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for this mischief in this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance and the Hell fires raged in his eyes
He said do you want to know the truth son. I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire

Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me, he said
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see
Oh, he said you're too blind to see
Oh, "listen to me" said the prophet

Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me, he said
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see
Oh, he said you're too blind to see
Can I play with madness?


SIDE B

1. BLACK BART BLUES

Bruce : "What the fuck is that ?"

Nerd : "Hi guys, are you in a band or something ? I mean it would be so cool if you were in a band 'cos you're driving a big bus with band on the front of it"

Bruce : "Why don't you shut up and get on board will ya ?"

Nerd : "Wow ! I have it here you got a stereo and a microwave and... and... and you got a beer. I'd like a Heineken if you've got one. That's really cool. That's great, yeah !"

Bruce : "Would you like to see Black Bart ?"

Nerd : "Who's black Bart ?"

Bruce : "Let me introduce you..."

Black Bart's seen it
Black Bart knows
Black Bart done it
The Black Bart blues
Suspended in suspension
Many evil nights in Tennessee, and elsewhere
We all got to try the Black Bart blues

Black Bart's trucking
Ain't what it seems
Black Bart looking
Don't know where she's been
Maybe she's an acrobat
Spends her evenings dancing on a pole
We all got to try the Black Bart blues

Black Bart's tried
Most of anything
Black Bart liked it
But he couldn't sing
So he asked me to tell ya
Try it for yourself and you will see
We all got to try the Black Bart blues

Bruce : "What did you do that for ?"

Nerd : "I'm sorry, I just... I guess I'm not used to..."

Bruce : "Shut up and get on with it, will you"

Black Bart's living
Across the ocean now
Black Bart looking
To come back somehow
So if you are a dancer
You could dance around his pole in may
That's a maypole

Black Bart's coming
Now Black Bart's gone
Black Bart did it
So I wrote this song
Whatever and however
In and out or several at a time, yes
We all got to do the Black Bart blues

Here comes the guitar solo

We all got to try the Black Bart blues
