Dance With The Madman
by Chris Sorrenti
"Within any important issue,
there are always aspects no one wishes to discuss."
- George Orwell
Dance with the madman
Come dance with me
We’re not that different
Yes you’ll see
As we waltz to the beauty of our idiosyncrasies
The head psychiatrist’s plan
Dance with the madman
Come dance with me
We’re all the same
Yes you and me
The head psychiatrist leaving our straight jackets untied
Given us the hospital keys
Dance with the madman
Come dance with me
We’re not that far gone
Yes you’ll see
As we waltz in the spotlight of certainty
The head psychiatrist is crazier than we

| Posted by James Zealy on 07/13/11 at 05:01 PM Now this is too cool. Madmen treat those that desire sanity, because they know what it is to be deranged, in fact as well as education. |
