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

Whatever happened to the funky race? A generation lost in pace. Wasnt life supposed to be more than this? In this kiss Ill change your bore for my bliss. But let go of my hand and it will slip out in the sand if you dont give me the chance to break down the walls of attitude. I ask nothing of you, not even your gratitude. And if you think Im corny then it will not make me sorry: its your right to laugh at me. And in turn, thats my oppurtunity to feel brave. Cause 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. Every morning I would see her getting off the bus, the picture never drops its 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? Cause theyve forgotten how to play. Maybe theyre 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. Dont think twice, do what you have to do. Do, do, do, do, let your heart decide what you have to do. Thats all there is to find. Cause 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...
