rage on rage on my brother time to lay down my arms you know that it s wrong for me to go on there s a madman singing down in the alley my love waits at the window my love waits by the door the curtains are drawn who ll sound the alarm it s the madman singing down in the alley i ll abandon the train from the crowd watch the parade of the madmen singing down in the alley darling take off your makeup gently let down your hair we ll stand by the grave and sip our champagne toast the madman singing down in the alley toast the madman singing down in the alley
