Madness & the struggle to find my place in the world
lyrics
There’s a hurricane a blowin’ through my head
Mixin’ all the pictures with the said
And done too much to say that I am useless
But not enough to qualify for success X4
Well I do believe that every step I take
Can cause another open door to shake
The handle turns around a quarter circle
Here I go again another unfamiliar room X3
Why is it so hard to see nothing
I’m either in tears or I’m joking, oh yeah I’m joking X3
Try just sittin’ there and thinking
I’ve tried to juggle all the things that please me
I’ve even tried to stop myself from trying
But nothing scores a ten without it then just fading, without it fading
X3
Change all the rules while I’m sleeping
Change all my thinking to feeling, oh yeah feeling X2
Try to find the stony ground to avoid
Building something out of nothing
Then getting nothing X4
So I’ll score my pen across this sordid page
And storm around about another rage
Then sit crying like a wounded mother
Is any of it worth a fuck
Hurricane (repeat)
