Beautiful Madness Songtext
von Robbie Robertson

Now some believe in God
And some believe in gold
And some still believe in witchcraft
Least that′s what I'm told

Now I believe in luck
′Cause that's what I've plenty of
And I believe in women
And sharin′ lots of love

It′s such a beautiful madness
It's bigger than life
It′s such a beautiful madness (beautiful madness)
It's bigger than life (bigger than life)

That′s why they call it "Snakes and ladders"
You watch 'em rise, you watch ′em fall
It's such a beautiful madness (beautiful madness)
It's bigger than life (bigger than life)


Welcome to the new Dark Ages
Take off your hat and stay awhile
And who would′ve thought it would become a crime?
Turnin′ straw into gold and water into wine

Go ahead, fly into my web
Let me take you for a ride
And come on, darlin', step right up
It′s all goin' wrong inside

It′s such a beautiful madness
It's bigger than life
It′s such a beautiful madness (beautiful madness)
It's bigger than life (bigger than life)

That's why they call it "Snakes and ladders"
You watch ′em rise, you watch ′em fall
It's such a beautiful madness (beautiful madness)
Now, I don′t like to blow my own horn, but

Oh, it looks like I'm in too deep
And I can′t sleep
Now maybe it's depression, maybe it′s the dope
Chances are it's a little bit of both


It's such a beautiful madness
It′s bigger than life (hmm)
It′s such a beautiful madness (beautiful madness)
It's bigger than life (it′s bigger than life)

That's why they call it "Snakes and ladders"
You watch ′em rise, you watch 'em fall
It′s such a beautiful madness (beautiful madness)
It's bigger than life (bigger than life)
Bigger than life (bigger than life)
