(by P. Kantner, M. Balin)



And then my whole world turned kind of crazy

My whole world came apart

Found my way to Madeleine Street

Found my lover and I found my heart

Found my lover and I found my heart

Down in Nicaragua in a little music bar

Where all the people were dancin' All the people're so right

All the people makin' love long into the wartime night



Goin' down to Madeleine Street

I want to be there I want to be there

Sweet sweet Madeleine Street

I love to be there



For all of us who like to stay out late at the cafe

And all of us who do not want to go to bed

And everybody here who needs a light for the night

As an insulation against the darkness



Let's go down to Madeleine Street

Talk about Tennessee Williams and be so cool

Or fall in love on Madeleine Street

Love is not for fools



I took an Airplane named Desire

I sat next to Marlon Brando too

There's a method to this madness

I got off 'n he got off too

A little young a little crazy

A little love to light your way lady

A little darkside forbidden pleasure

A little love is what Madeleine treasures



What excites you anymore? Madeleine Street!

What do you tremble for? Madeleine Street!

Come on down there's a party goin' on

Madeleine goes on and on and on and on

Let's go down to Madeleine Street

I want to be there I want to be there

Sweet sweet Madeleine Street

I love to be there
