Karaoké It Takes a Fool to Remain Sane The Ark

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 opportunity to feel brave

'Cos 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 multicolored 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 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 multicolored jacket

Take it jackpot, crackpot

Strutting like a peacock

Nailvarnish Arkansas

Shimmy-shammy feather boa

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
