[00:09.36]Whatever happened to the funky race?
[00:12.34]A generation lost in pace,
[00:16.34]-Wasn′t life supposed to be more than this?
[00:20.18]In this kiss I′ll change your bore for my bliss
[00:23.81]But let go of my hand and it will slip out
[00:26.36]in the sand if you don′t give me the chance
[00:28.84]to break down the walls of latitude,
[00:31.68]I ask nothing of you
[00:35.14]not even your gratitude
[00:38.53]And if you think I′m corny
[00:40.43]then it will not make me sorry
[00:42.46]it′s your right to laugh at me
[00:45.75]and in turn, that′s my opportunity
[00:49.49]to feel brave
[00:55.00]Because ridicule is no shame
[00:58.00]Oh, it's just a way to eclipse hate
[01:02.00]It's just a way to put my back straight
[01:06.00]Oh, it's just a way to remain sane
[01:10.81]Every morning I would see her getting
[01:13.04]off the bus the picture never drops
[01:15.73]it′s like a multicoloured snapshot stuck in my brain
[01:18.20]it kept me sane for a couple of years
[01:23.37]as it drenched my fears
[01:25.48]of becoming like the others
[01:27.46]who become unhappy mothers
[01:29.29]and fathers of unhappy kids
[01:31.93]And why is that?
[01:33.13]′Cause they′ve forgotten how to play
[01:36.03]or maybe they′re afraid to feel ashamed
[01:40.04]to seem strange
[01:41.87]to seem insane
[01:43.63]to gain weight
[01:44.70]to seem gay
[01:45.91]- I tell you this:
[01:48.48]That it takes a fool to remain sane
[01:52.18]Oh It takes a fool to remain sane
[01:56.13]Oh It takes a fool to remain sane
[01:59.87]Oh In this world all covered up in shame
[02:04.03](-Oh, take it to the stage!)
[02:20.11]So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured
[02:23.63]jacket take it jackpot, crackpot,
[02:26.17]strutting like a peacock
[02:28.20]nailvarnish Arkansas
[02:29.98]shimmy-shammy featherboah crackpot haircut
[02:33.67]dye your hair in glowing red and blue,
[02:36.44]-Do, Do, Do! What you wanna do, Don′t think twice,
[02:39.91]do what you have to do,
[02:43.80]Do, Do, Do,Do, let your heart decide
[02:48.12]what you have to do that′s all there is to find
[02:54.01]Cause it takes a fool to remain sane,
[02:58.37]Oh It takes a fool to remain sane
[03:02.13]Oh In this world all covered up in shame
[03:05.94]Oh It takes a fool to remain sane,
[03:09.61]Oh It takes a fool to remain sane
[03:13.75]Oh It takes a fool to remain sane
[03:17.55]Oh In this world all covered up in shame
