The crazy man, he laughs at me
Finding humor in all that he sees
And what he hears in silent song
Brings thoughts to boil in a rhythm that's wrong
The crazy man, he talks to me
Through the wires and puppet strings
Dance around! He yells aloud
Isolated voice shouted from a crowd
This crazy man, he speaks to me
Through broken glass and piano keys
Play us a tune, he says in his tone
For all of us here are feeling quite alone
You can't hide us away, try a much as you will
But we'll be here waiting, just waiting until
We're freed for a moment, given briefly a stage
We'll flow from our prison, and ink up a page
With all good intentions
The sanity of the insane
The only twisted beings
To make sense out of pain
The crazy man retreating
As the riot is controlled
But it won't be for very long
That he'll do what he's told
The cackle fades to softness
Colors now too dull to see
I'll be waiting in the silence for
The crazy man who laughs at me
