Rage on, rage on, my brother   Time to lay down my arms   You know that it's wrong for me to go on   There's a madman singing down in the alley      My love waits at the window   My love waits by the door, the curtains are drawn   Who'll sound the alarm   It's the madman singing down in the alley      I'll abandon the train   From the crowd watch the parade   Of the madmen singing down in the alley      Darling, take off your makeup   Gently let down your hair   We'll stand by the grave and sip our champagne   Toast the madman singing down in the alley   Toast the madman singing down in the alley
