Lyrics
Madwoman
Dirty old clothes underneath her toes Fighting what she knows So she throws it all into a big black pot Stirs it all up til the pot gets hot With the hands of a beggar and the tongue of a thief Another crutch to bury her grief
Madwoman in a straw house Madwoman in my house And with the blood of bats and the tail of a mouse Madwoman in a straw house
And what she knows is the moon makes her mad What she knows links the good with bad But the faith she bought with a shiny dime Doesn't seem to draw the line so She made her own belief That the truth was found in trees and things But the x philosophy that she had grown Wasn't enough to save her soul
Madwoman in a straw house Madwoman in my house And with the blood of bats and the tail of a mouse Madwoman in a straw house
But there's one thing she did not try And this one thing she cannot deny It was a drowning notion that they gave That could not supply her need It was a haunting notion that she'd saved But her peace could not be freed
Madwoman Madwoman in a straw house Madwoman in my house And with the blood of bats and the tail of a mouse
Madwoman in a straw house Madwoman in my house And with the blood of bats and the tail of a mouse
Madwoman in a straw house Madwoman in my house And with the blood of bats and the tail of a mouse Madwoman in a straw house
