Madman Mora Blues
Madman Mora Blues: A Heartbreaking Tale of Chains, Broken Doors, and Torn Hearts
Lyrics
Steven went to Mora
Steven visited Mora
When he had the madman blues
He experienced the madman blues
They put him in St. Peter's
He was placed in St. Peter's
And they took away his shoes
His shoes were confiscated
They took away his shoes
Reiteration: His shoes were taken away
And they took away his belt
His belt was also taken away
They thought they knew
The authorities believed they understood a madman's emotions
All about how a madman felt
Commentary on the authorities' perception of madness
They said he'd done the bottle
They accused him of drinking from a bottle
But he must have done the keg
Suggests he might have consumed a large quantity (keg) instead
'Cause he tore down a door
He forcibly entered a door and injured a policeman
And he broke a policeman's leg
He caused harm, specifically breaking a policeman's leg
They put him into chains
He was restrained with chains
And they marched him in the yard
He was paraded in the yard with men pulling and pushing
They had three men pulling
Three men pulling, three men pushing
And three men pushing hard
Physical restraint described
They put him in the cell
He was placed in a cell
And he tore the place apart
He caused chaos and destruction inside the cell
But the madman blues went and
Reiteration: The madman blues caused emotional pain
Broke that poor boy's heart
Result: The heart of a young man was broken
