Insanity

[Verse 1]
See the young man standin' on a corner
With a smile on his face
Not goin' anywhere, not hurtin' anybody
Not in love with anyone

[Verse 2]
You say he's not all there
That's just your misguided vanity
All of these people are livin' in a world
A lonely world, it's called insanity

[Verse 3]
See the dog chasin' the tin can wrapped around his tail
See the man in jail, you say they're wrong but you don't know
The guy standin' right next to you is crazy
Has lived for too long on the streetcar named desire

[Verse 4]
You wouldn't believe that he had set 17 fires in one day
Would you? "How could you?" You'd say to him "That's insanity"
Sound the chimes, flick the dimes
Give equal time to insanity

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
You can walk down and see a bunch of kids
Hangin' around a parkin' lot carryin' signs
And all of a sudden the police starts off coughin' in one spot
A Siamese cat snaps her fingers doin' the cats a tap dance

[Verse 6]
A ladder, the ladder turns out to be a parkin' meter
And the whole thing turns out to be World War III in cinemascope on TV
And the eyes of a patriarch shoulda drove you sayin'
"Look at me", that's insanity, that's insanity
