[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:
A modest man from Mandrake travelled rich to the city.
He had a need to discover a use for his newly found wealth.
G/D D D C/G C/G C/G G G
Because he was human, because he had goodness,
G/D D D C/G C/G C/G G/D
Because he was moral they called him insane.
G/D D D C/G C/G G G
Delusions of grandeur, visions of splendor,
G/D D C/G C/G G/D
A manic depressive, he walks in the rain.
G/D D C/D D G/D D D C/D D CaddD
Eyes wide open, heart undefended... innocence untarnished.

[Riff 4] x2 /w lyrics:
In the betrayal of his love he awakened, to face a world of cold reality.
And a look in the eyes of the hungry, awakened his to what he could do.
G/D D D C/G C/G C/G G G
He held up his riches to challenge the hungry.
G/D D D C/G C/G G/D
Purposeful motion for one so insane.
G/D D D C/G C/G G
They tried to fight him, just couldn't beat him.
G/D D C/G C/G G/D
This manic depressive who walks in the rain.
