Lyrics Dive into the Madness - Dan Bull

Dive into the Madness

Deep down, down below the waves
Is a foreboding place
From which you won’t escape
No, those who go there, go to stay
Below the ocean spray
Who knows your fate?
A little lassie in an overcoat, stowed away
Six is at a precocious age or so they say
Don’t they?
If she was any younger
Six would have succumbed to hunger by now
Is it any wonder?
I wonder
Why we’re frightened of lightning and thunder
Sneaking around, feet on the ground
Never even making a peep or a sound
Dive into the madness
Try swimming through miasmic blackness
Dive into the madness
Seasick from the spinning of the atlas
Ooh, I say
You gave me a fright there
I thought I was having a little nightmare
Ooh, I say
You gave me a fright there
So scared that I might get white hair
Strange shadows are disguised in the bright glare
Where did she hide?
She was right there, I swear!
I glare with a wide-eyed stare
At the site where I spied her, my girl
I hope you’re strapped up tight in your high-chair
I’m not adequately providing childcare
How well you might fare, if only I would fight fair
In my spare time, I like to strike fear!
Into the hearts of the horrid little children
Let’s be honest then, I’m probably going to kill them
Chop them, chuck them, lob them off a building
Do you really need the details filled in?
Entrails spilled and boiled into goop
Seasoned with herbs and then served as a soup
Feeding the mouths of the greediest guests
Look and see for yourself, it’s easy-queasy to digest
Ooh, I say
You gave me a fright there
What a sickening sight that’s quite rare
Ooh, I say
You gave me a fright there
I thought I was having a little nightmare
Dive into the madness
Vanishing the line dividing good and badness
You can only hide under your mattress
'Til you need to resupply your lighters and matches
You can be sure that in the jaws of the Maw
You’re going to come out looking like you’ve fought in the war
Mauled with the paw of the polar bear
Halt, hold it there, all fall to the floor!
You’re insulting the law and the ball’s in my court
Don’t run!
There’s little point bolting the door
When I’m holding a saw and patrolling for gore!
My depravity gland’s all swollen and sore
You find that revolting, I’m sure
I don’t care!
I’ll shove you through a revolving door
I wrote the rules down here and all I am concerned with is fear
Dive into the madness
Dive into the madness now
Dive into the madness
Dive into the madness now
Dive into the madness
Dive into the madness now
Dive into the madness
