It takes a fool to remain sane
Ark, The
We Are The Ark (2000)

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
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

Chorus:
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 stop
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?
Cause they've forgotten how to play
Or maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed
To seem strange, to seem insane
To gain weight, to seem gay
I tell you this

Chorus
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
I'll take you 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

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

Chorus
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
Oh it takes a fool
