Welcome to the Madness

Lyrics and music: Holly Strain © 2005

Spoken:

Lost memories creep through the mind's dark maze,

Twisting and turning slowly, trying to escape, trying to find,

The light as it slowly fades away.

SFXPsychotic, maniacal laughter)

Verse 1:

Remember the days when you smiled happily,

Fair Juliet, your king hath abandoned thee,

Romeo was poison running through your veins,

You were mad about him, absolutely insane!

Chorus:

Welcome to the madness,

This lunacy, you see

Is a happy, delirious dream

Where nothing is what is seems,

Where merry-go-rounds claim the sky,

And kitty-cats steal your dreams,

Welcome to the madness, my friend;

Where nothing is what it seems.

Spoken:

The forest is black, this nightmare he cannot wake from

She was his princess and he was her prince but alas,

Not all fairytales end happily,

Not all nightingales get to finish their song,

Who could have known that his first kiss would be his

Last?

Verse 2:

Remember the days when you danced happily,

Fair Romeo, your queen hath abandoned thee,

Juliet was poison, churning through your veins,

You were mad about her, completely insane!

SFX: Psychotic laughter and desperate screaming)

Chorus:

Welcome to the madness,

This lunacy you see,

Is a happy delirious dream,

Where nothing is what it seems,

Where dragon's fire claims your heart,

And fairies steal your dreams,

Welcome to the madness my friend;

Where nothing ever will be what it seems!

Spoken:

This topsy-turvy mixed up land

Is really just a state of mind!

You're losing your sanity,

You're giving in to vanity!

Chorus:

Welcome to the madness,

This lunacy, you see

Is a happy, delirious dream

Where nothing is what is seems,

Where merry-go-rounds claim the sky,

And kitty-cats steal your dreams,

Welcome to the madness, my friend;

Where nothing is what it seems.

Welcome to the madness,

This lunacy you see,

Is a happy delirious dream,

Where nothing is what it seems,

Where dragon's fire claims your heart,

And fairies steal your dreams,

Welcome to the madness my friend;

Where nothing ever will be what it seems!
