Soundtrack of my life

The Ark - It takes a fool to remain sane

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

Because ridicule is no shame

it's just a way to eclipse hate

it's just a way to put my back straight

it's just a way to remain sane

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 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

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 a jackpot, crackpot

strutting like a peacock

nailvarnish Arkansas

shimmy-shammy featherboa

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 to

that's all there is to find

'Cause 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
