Cast of The Mystery of Edwin Drood - A Man Could Go Quite Mad lyrics

JASPER Another trifling day, one more soul-stifling day of blinding pain: Boredom grinds my brain down to the grain A man could go quite mad and not be all that bad Consider each superb, disturbing urge you've ever had To curse aloud in church or choke each bloke who Throws a smile your way... Be that as it may A man could have bad dreams and not be all he seems Yet not be far-removed from all the noblest of extremes Sometimes I think that sanity is just a pa**ing fad A man could go quite mad Unblessed are the dull. One ceaseless, peaceless lull One wondrous night Storm-struck thund'rous light Will cast me right A sculptor lacking arms, a sorc'ror lacking charms A fiend who frightens no one for there's no one that he harms Whose clutches clutch at only desp'rate respite From this dim tableau! Knowing this is so, I hide myself in thought Where one cannot be caught And feed on dreams that contradicts each Edict I've been taught And if someday I lose my way and mind You'll find me glad - A man could go quite, man could go quite Man could go quite mad!
