Madman or Messiah by Magnum (Band) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you were born you never had a thing
Out in the cold unforgettable
Hold your silver cross not to sympathise
Play the music soft and close your eyes
You'd be a rich man or you'd be a fool
Heart full of gold so incredible

[Bridge]
Out of time still locked in anger

[Chorus]
Madman or messiah
If he gets inside of your head
That house of desire
Be careful you might get misled
Shotgun Boulevard
No diamonds or kings
Beware the schoolyard
I guess that's the place it begins
[Verse 2]
I don't know if it's a gift or a cursе
Nobody sees it's impossible
Get down on your knees, wash away the blood
Chеating the disease will do you good
You might be crying on the streets alone
Walk through the crowd quite invisible

[Bridge]
Out of time still locked in anger

[Chorus]
Madman or messiah
If he gets inside of your head
That house of desire
Be careful you might get misled
Shotgun Boulevard
No diamonds or kings
Beware the schoolyard
I guess that's the place it begins

[Break]
Shame
Maybe there'll come a day
That won't hold you down
The green light is on
The unspoken words
That you should have said
Forever return
And return
[Chorus]
Madman or messiah
If he gets inside of your head
That house of desire
Be careful you might get misled
Shotgun Boulevard
No diamonds or kings
Beware the schoolyard
I guess that's the place it begins
