The science of the madman
C#m A B
Was getting out of control

[Verse 3]
C#m A B
I'm just painting a picture
C#m A B
Of how it could be
C#m B
But time's running out - the clock's ticking down

You're not blind - can't you see
[Chorus]
F#m E
Don't tell me that we still don't know
F#m E
And that we're not being told
F#m E C#m B
The final s.o.s. we shouldn't ignore

The writing on the wall

Read the writing on the wall
C#m A C#m A
The writing on the wall
