It takes a fool to remain sane
Whatever happened to the funky race?
a generation lost in pace
wasnand't life supposed to be more than this?
in this kiss iand'll change your bore for my bliss
But let go of my hand and it will slip on the sand
if you donand't give me the chance
to break down the walls of attitude
i ask nothing of you
not even your gratitude
And if you think iand'm corny
then it will not make me sorry
itand's your right to laugh at me
and in turn thatand's my oppurtunity
to feel brave
Because ridicule is no shame
oh, itand's just a way to eclipse hate
itand's just a way to put my back straight
oh, itand's just a way to remain sane
Every morning i would see her getting off the bus
the picture never drops, itand's like a multicoloured snapshot
stuck in my brain
it kept me sane for a couple of years
as it drenched my fears
of becoming like the others
who become unhappy mothers
and fathers of unhappy kids
and why is that?
and'cos theyand've forgotten how to play
oh, maybe theyand're afraid to feel ashamed
to seem strange, to seem insane
to gain weight, to seem gay
i tell you this
That it takes a fool to remain sane
oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
oh, in this world all covered up in shame
(oh, take it to the stage)
So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured jacket
take it jackpot, crackpot, strutting like a peacock
nailvarnish arkansas, shimmy-shammy featherboah
crackpot, haircut, dye your hair in glowing red and blue
Do, do, do what you wanna do
donand't think twice, do what you have to do
do, do, do, do, let your heart decide
what you have to do
thatand's all there is to find
and'cos it takes a fool to remain sane
oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
oh, in this world all covered up in shame
oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
oh, it takes a fool to remain sane
oh, in this world all covered up in shame
Oh, it takes a fool
(it takes a fool to remain sane)...
