Madness - Elysium Lyrics

(Thompson/Woodgate)

Elysium
Is everyone chipping at your cordiality?
Elysium
You stand ice bound to the wind a casualty

Elysium
Is everyone nagging at your reason to believe?
Elysium
You stare down from a mound with such hostility

Listen to me now wipe your eyes
Relax your hand and come inside
Lift back your head and swallow your pride
Don't be ashamed in me confide

Oh I've seen you pretend
The happy go lucky everything's funky
But in the end
Your manic obsession turns to depression

Elysium
Is everyone chipping at your cordiality?
Elysium
You stand ice bound to the wind a casualty

Stand back watch the bright spark fly
To catch a glimpse don't blink an eye
The touchpaper wrapped around your soul has been lit
Lets go with the flow
Heaven
I'm in heaven

Elysium
Is everyone tugging at your idea to be free?
Elysium
Do they cry out for your sensibility?
