The Ark: It takes a fool to remain sane (Cd version)

Whatever happened to the funky race? A generation lost in pace Wasn't life supposed to be more than this? In this kiss I'll change your bore for my bliss But let go of my hand and it will slip on the sand If you don'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 I'm corny then it will not make me sorry It's your right to laugh at me and in turn that's my oppurtunity to feel brave Because ridicule is no shame Oh, it's just a way to eclipse hate It's just a way to put my back straight Oh, it's just a way to remain sane Every morning I would see her getting off the bus The picture never drops, it'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? 'Cos they've forgotten how to play Oh, maybe they'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 Don't think twice, do what you have to do Do, do, do, do, let your heart decide what you have to do That's all there is to find '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)...
