Lyric Can I Play With Madness

(Smith, Dickinson, Harris)

Can I play with madness
Give me the sense to wonder, to wonder if I m free
Give me a sense of wonder, to know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up, spit back in their face
Don t need no key to unlock this door, gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place

Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there s no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you re blind too blind too see
I screamed aloud to the old man, I said don t lie don t say you don t know
I say you ll pay for your mischief in this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance, and the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said do you want to know the truth son - I ll tell you the truth
Your soul s gonna burn in a lake of fire

Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there s no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you re blind too blind too see
Oh listen to me, said the prophet

(2:40-Solo: Adrian Smith)

Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness - there s no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you re blind too blind too see
Can I play with madness
