Walking through the desert
You know what it’s about
It’s really from the church
Too foreign
That was never there
Yet you know I’m in heaven
But it is a hell
Sun is drying up my brain
The smile and installations
Are my pain
I’m going mad
I’m going mad
I’m going mad
Aaaayowwww!!!

Walking through the desert
You know what it’s about
It’s really from the church
Too foreign
That was never there
I’m goin’ mad!
Sun is drying out my brain
The smile and installations
Are my pain
I’m goin’ mad!
I’m goin’ mad!
I’m goin’ mad!
mad!
