Tell me, what's my lesson" Look right through me, look right through me And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying Are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you I find it hard to take When people run in circles, it's a very, very Mad world, mad world Enlarging your world Mad world
