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
