The Collector |
| I take the things from their leather cases |
| And I arrange them in their special places |
| I collected people like you might collect flowers |
| But they only lived for a couple of hours |
| A famous flicker in these flames |
| And hear the waiting and played their games |
| Only a mad dog would turn on the world |
| Only a mad dog would turn on the world |
| I watched the morning in the evening |
| I saw the clouds as they were leaving |
| Collected people as you might collect stamps |
| Princes, killers, heroes, tramps |
| The lonely locked here in this room |
| With scant regard and no perfume |
| Only a mad dog would turn on the world |
| Only a mad dog would turn on the world (left for you) |
| I have performed to find the ??? |
| (3:08) |
| In avenues and garden groves |
| I collected people like you might collect coins |
| I quenched their hearts and burned their loins |
| This is where the general slept |
| Near the place (3:33) their soldiers wept |
| Only a mad dog would turn on the world |
| Only a mad dog would turn on the world |
