MAD WORLD // LYRICS (By Roland Orzabal)

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world
Mad world

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

I'm always in awe of how much control Remington has of his voice. He has a unique sound that can go from hauntingly beautiful to raspy and chaotic within seconds. His sound makes him stand out. Absolutely stellar cover by Palaye Royale. 👏🖤😊

[spaceoddity]

pandemic *exists*

palaye royale : don't be sad let's drop some music

[brooklynnlaurick]

This is everything I've ever wanted from a Mad World cover.

[peaceteez]

Emerson is really out there being one of the best artists, we stan a legend

[augustcollins]

AND EMERSON'S ART LEAVES ME SPEECHLESS

[salemalx]

Now MAD WORLD is perfect, because it has the essence of Palaye and 2020 is no longer so chaotic

[ryinh]

Oh wow. I was kind of conflicted every turn of this cover but it's actually fucking dope lol. The original was like a somber acceptance and defeat and this version is like a manic episode and going insane

[Rorylolly]

It even has a palaye royale spin to it

[maritalin]

i think this is what depression mixed with anger sounds like.

[hpelessely_devted]

And is anyone going to talk about how AMAZING Emerson's art is? He's so talented <3

[xAnarchRadiostar]

MCR 2019: Hey, we're back! You're safe with us!

*Pandemic hits*

Palaye Royale 2020: *Sit down, it's our turn to run this parade*

[noahgraham]

I didn't know I needed this. but rems voice is perfect for this song

[thatemerson]

They are so amazingly talented, it genuinely leaves me speechless. Like, not the typical “talented”, like a unique talent I’ve never seen before, I’m so glad I discovered them. Love you guys!

[elaine.barrett]

Emerson's art is so beautiful and inspiring, I'm so glad I bought his art bed sheets. Absolutely gorgeous!

[imweirdfiteme]

His voice makes songs like these EPIC. Like i cant imagine andy or chris singing this and having the same effect.

[littlebastards]

Only 26 more days till my school starts and I'm telling everyone about Palaye Royale and love the song

[cadynextdoorr]

REMINGTON AND SEBASTIAN AND EMERSON AND EVERYONE DID SUCH A GOOD ❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️

[sophiaselig]

I’m crying and smiling and feeling so many emotions


This band means so much like-

[acartist]

This song is so nostalgic especially with Remington’s voice

[Anthonytrujillo]

It’s weird that the first time I’m hearing the whole song it’s a palaye royale cover
