[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Yes, I drink away the hurting
Wishing that the ghost would fade away
There was something more I had to do
Before you turned and walked away

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Promises broken easily, a-ha

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my silver screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail speed of light
Hope flickering

[Verse 1: Andy Bell]
Pins and needles climbing up the spine of bone
Cathedrals ever high
I'm not sure that I could cross this river
I'm not sure I want to try

[Pre-Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
Shadows is all that's left of you, a-ha

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my silver screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail speed of light
Hope flickering
[Post-Chorus: Andy Bell]
Like moths in the night

[Pre-Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Promises broken easily, a-ha

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my silver screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail speed of light
Hope flickering

[Chorus 2: Andy Bell]
Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my blue screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail speed of light
Hope flickering

[Chorus 1: Andy Bell]
Mad as we are, cannot fail
Lines across my silver screen
Sorts it out, burns a trail speed of light
Hope flickering

[Outro: Andy Bell]
Like moths in the night
