Ark It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane Lyrics

It Takes A Fool To Remain Sane lyrics
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 out

in 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.



'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 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 this?

'Cause they've forgotten how to play,

[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/a/ark-lyrics/it-takes-a-fool-to-remain-sane-lyrics.html ]
or 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, let your heart decide

what you have to do that's 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.
