The main influence of the song came from Daijiro Morohoshi’s manga “The Mudmen”, which is about the Asaro Mudmen tribe of Papua New Guinea. Magic ensues.
[Pre-verse]
Hear the Madmen call
Hear the Madmen call
[Verse 1]
A walk in the forest, what do I see?
A wooden house in the trees
I can feel people here and there
But I can't see a wall anywhere
[Chorus]
Every time I look away
Every time I look away
Every time I look away
Every time I look away
I hear the Madmen call
[Refrain]
Hear the Madmen call
Hear the Madmen call
[Verse 2]
Walk on looking something new
A lake comes into view
I can feel the spirits call
I look around but there's no wall
[Chorus]
Every time I look away
Every time I look away
Every time I look away
Every time I look away
I hear the Madmen call
[Verse 3]
I cross the lake to the other side
A spirit hands me a meteorite
I throw it down and walk some more
I don't see no wall at all
[Chorus]
Every time I look away
Every time I look away
Every time I look away
Every time I look away
I hear the Madmen call
[Refrain]
Hear the Madmen call
Hear the Madmen call
Hear the Madmen call
Hear the Madmen call
[Verse 4]
Every time I look away
And swallow up again
Every time I look away
And staring up the wall
Every time I look away
And look away
Every time I look away
I hear the Madmen call
