The Sanity of Crazy

The Sanity of Crazy

Purple patches in the pond at midnight

Echoing voices from beyond taunting me

Green clouds in the sky scudding past a rainbow sun

As we fly between the stars holding hands

Dreaming of the villain who takes the heroine

Smoking orange weed into the night

Riding the bicycle on the river made for two

Singing tomorrow’s song that I love you

Reading between the pages of the unpublished book

Following all the mysteries that can’t be solved

Flying over fields in the cloak of insecurity

Hoping for a wishing star other cannot see

Fat flies eating up the ointment revealing truth

Wilting flowers on the pavement newly cast aside

A policeman on a bicycle belting out ‘Rawhide’

Little fish with red hats swim against the tide

The Speaker on the floor with a Rastafarian hat

I’m with my love so I don’t care about that

She’s been brewing magic mushrooms on the stove

Making the best use of her botanical degree

I hear you tell your friend my brain is scrambled

But I think you can’t think clearly any more

See we still got our love and we don’t care

We left your crazy world and found our own

Where mystic memories of magic are grown

We found each other in the sky and we’re not alone

Escaping the madness of your world of destruction

Where you’re waiting patiently for an alien abduction

Burning up the planet and you don’t give a damn

Starving millions yet you think you know who I am

Boasting with pride it ain’t genocide

Dropping bombs and watching as children died

Sitting on you ass you should be down on your knees

Asking for forgiveness but you have no shame

Yet you are the crazy one who is calling us insane
