"Madame Joy" lyrics

And, now, we see it's real
We don't wanna see
And, now, it's really here
We don't want it near

Didn't see it coming
Didn't hear its name

And, now, we can't believe it's turned out to be

Madame Joy
Taking us down into the shade
Hung over yesterday
Madame Joy
Letting us out into the air
Just like she never cared
At all

She's duty-free
Completely head-over-heels
She's louder than a scream
And high as the trees

Madame Joy
Taking us down into the shade
Hung over yesterday
Madame Joy
Staring us out
Washing away one more bad day

She says, "Lay back a little
Show off a little
Yeah
Straight down the middle
Leaves you a little square
Doesn't feel like anywhere"

Sometimes, we fall
We fall back under the spell
That old illusion calls again and again
And there's always something heading off escape
The world you once adored is slipping away

Madame Joy
Taking us down into the shade
Hung over yesterday
Madame Joy
Letting us out into the air
Just like she never cared
At all

Madame Joy
Taking us down into the shade
Hung over yesterday
Madame Joy
Madame Joy
Madame Joy
Madame Joy

If we're going down that road
Let's go
Real slow

If we're going down that road
Let's go
Real slow

If we're going down that road
Let's go
Real slow
