Early Morning Madness - Rufus Wainwright

Early morning madness

Everything is wrong

Early morning sadness

Everything is crap and long

Gotta take a nap later on

Then the early morning longing will be gone

That’s the thing just in time

For the chime of the dinner gong

Early morning madness

I’m a perfect man

Early morning sadness

Gotta get some rest I guess

Gotta take some time to be well

Then the early morning longing will dispell

That’s the thing just in time

For the ting of the dinner bell

Early morning madness

Early morning sadness

I don’t have the senti- sentiment, senti- sentiment, ah

Early morning madness

You’re a total bore

Earl morning sadness

Don’t wanna ride that ship no more

Sailing at that clip evermore

But the Flying Dutchman’s calling me a boy

That’s the thing, it’s a scare

I can hear the ring trrring trrrring trrrrring… of a flaying funeral snare

Early Morning Madness

Early Morning sadness

I don’t have the senti-sentiment, senti- sentiment, ah

Early morning madness

Early morning sadness
