CHe's coming' soon to Eyour small town, yeahAm  
AmHe's searching for something he won't find
CWell he's a mad, mad man with a Emad, mad mind yeahAm  
AmHalf a fifth of Jack Daniels

CHe's a troubled man with a Emorbid soul, yeahAm

Well he's Cno ones papa he's Eno ones son, yeahAm  
AmHe won't sleep till' they're dead
CHe's got a swazi on the Etop of his head, yeahAm  
AmDown from the heavens from which he fell
Well he's a Cdemon child sent Estraight from hellAm  
AmThrows one more shot of bourbon back
Well he's a Cmean motherfucker; he's a Eman in black, yeahAm

  CGuns are Edrawn he's in their Amsights
  FAnd they Dmthink they've got their leads
  CBut he's a Efriend of the Amnight
AmLike the ravage of a holy flood
CThree lay dead in a Epool of blood, yeahAm  
AmAbove broken bodies madness stands
CBlood on his beard and Eblood on his handsAm  
AmHides in the shadows of the still of the night
And Cyou won't see him Ecoming no, no!Am  
AmDone the dead and flees the scene
Out of the Ccorner of your eye you see Ethe mad man runningAm

Well it's a Amsilent shriek without a sound
Well he's Ccoming soon to Eyour small town, yeahAm  
AmAnd he's searching for something he won't find
Well he's a Cmad, mad man with a Emad, mad mind, yeahAm
