  • Are you coming outside?
    I can make it a business, I can sell you it
    Do you live in a mine?
    A notorious black spot up and coming, I hear
    Let the wizard talk come
    At the peak of choice mountain, you've been saving up
    Are you really this old?
    I can make it a business

    Come with me to the mad stone (run all night, all night, never get free)
    Above you (run all night, all night, never get free)
    Mad stone (run all night, all night, never get free)
    Let it control you (run all night, all night, never get free)

    At the very top there was a screen that showed a picture
    Of a man who stood there looking at a picture
    Of a man who stood there looking at a picture
    Of a picture of a man on a screen
    And he was looking at another picture of a man
    Who stood there looking at a picture of a man
    Who stood there looking at a picture of a picture of a man
    Who was the double of me

    So you scrimp and you save
    I got wild in the aisles, son, let me tell you that
    Did you set me aflame?
    I can sell you a firehose, put out all of it now
    Do you think it's all true?
    Nothing quite so romantic, there's no oxygen
    I'm a mountain head too
    What is that? A religion?

    Come with me to the mad stone (run all night, all night, never get free)
    Above you (run all night, all night, never get free)
    The mad stone (run all night, all night, never get free)
    Let it control you (run all night, all night, never get free)

    At the very top there was a screen that showed a picture
    Of a man who stood there looking at a picture
    Of a man who stood there looking at a picture
    Of a picture of a man on a screen
    And he was looking at another picture of a man
    Who stood there looking at a picture of a man
    Who stood there looking at a picture of a picture of a man
    Who was the double of me

    Strange winds are blowing on this mortal plane
    You get no pleasure from your pleasure center in your reptile brain
    The mad stone is singing, can you say the same?
    You get no pleasure from your pleasure center in your reptile brain

    This is the mad stone (run all night, all night, never get free)
    Above you (run all night, all night, never get free)
    The mad stone (run all night, all night, never get free)
    Let it control you (run all night, all night, never get free)

    At the very top there was a screen that showed a picture
    Of a man who stood there looking at a picture
    Of a man who stood there looking at a picture
    Of a picture of a man on a screen
    And he was looking at another picture of a man
    Who stood there looking at a picture of a man
    Who stood there looking at a picture of a picture of a man
    Who was the double of me
