[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.
Because he was human, because he had goodness,
Because he was moral they called him insane.
Delusions of grandeur, visions of splendor,
A manic depressive, he walks in the rain.
Eyes wide open, heart undefended... innocence untarnished.
[Riff 5] x1 /w lyrics:
Cinderella man doing what you can.
They can t understand what it means. [Riff 1] x1

[Riff 5] x1 /w lyrics:
Cinderella man hang on to your plans.
Try as they might they cannot steal your dreams. [Riff 1] x1

[Riff 3] x1
[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.
He held up his riches to challenge the hungry.
Purposeful motion for one so insane.
They tried to fight him, just couldn t beat him.
This manic depressive who walks in the rain.
