It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane — текст песни (The Ark)

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

Because ridicule is no shame

its just a way to eclipse hate

its just a way to put my back straight

its just a way to remain sane



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 seem gay

to gain weight

- I tell you this:



That it takes a fool to remain sane

It takes a fool to remain sane

It takes a fool to remain sane

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, 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

It takes a fool to remain sane

In this world all covered up in shame

It takes a fool to remain sane,

It takes a fool to remain sane

It takes a fool to remain sane

In this world all covered up in shame.
