​all in the golden afternoon

[Refrain]
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm mad, I'm mad
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm mad, I'm mad

[Verse 1]
Oh, lately I can't fall asleep
The flowers they sing gentle melodies
What was I thinking? Thinking I was strong
Now louder they sing sadly to my song

Beneath such dreamy weather
We fall asleep forever
Lost myself in the thoughts
And dropped all hope that was fought

Oh, paint my roses red
Off with your head
Let me fly under your feet, mmm

All the love will end
Unless we just pretend
That I love you and you love me

Oh, I've got friends in other places
I know I will make it
Burning wreaths of flowers
Praying for an answer, woah

[Refrain]
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm mad, I'm mad
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm mad, I'm mad

[Verse 2]
Slowly I feel life in a glide
We always pray for wanderings to guide
Love lost meaning when you were mine
No ending for this garden of lies

Beneath a setting sun
Hope lost and silence won
I hid myself to feel free
Loving the birds and the beasts

[Chorus]
Oh, paint my roses red
Off with your head
Let me fly under your feet, mmm

All the love will end
Unless we just pretend
That I love you and you love me

Oh, I've got friends in other places
I know I will make it
Burning wreaths of flowers
Praying for an answer, woah

[Post-Chorus]
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm mad, I'm mad
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm mad, I'm mad

[Bridge]
Stuck in the middle
Forever lost
It's all a riddle
Never solved

Destroying love
When I'm with you
All In the Golden
Afternoon

I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm mad, I'm mad
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm mad, I'm mad

[Chorus]
Paint my roses red
Off with your head
Let me fly under your feet, mmm

All the love will end
Unless we just pretend
That I love you and you love me

Oh, I've got friends in other places
I know I will make it
Burning wreaths of flowers
Praying for an answer, woah

[Post-Chorus]
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm MAD, I'm MAD
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm MAD, I'm MAD
I'm M A D I'm M A D I'm MAD, I'm MAD
