| Artist | The Ark |
| Album | The Ark, Arkeology - The Complete Singles Collection |
| [00:09.36] | Whatever happened to the funky race? |
| [00:12.34] | A generation lost in pace, |
| [00:16.34] | -Wasn′t life supposed to be more than this? |
| [00:20.18] | In this kiss I′ll change your bore for my bliss |
| [00:23.81] | But let go of my hand and it will slip out |
| [00:26.36] | in the sand if you don′t give me the chance |
| [00:28.84] | to break down the walls of latitude, |
| [00:31.68] | I ask nothing of you |
| [00:35.14] | not even your gratitude |
| [00:38.53] | And if you think I′m corny |
| [00:40.43] | then it will not make me sorry |
| [00:42.46] | it′s your right to laugh at me |
| [00:45.75] | and in turn, that′s my opportunity |
| [00:49.49] | to feel brave |
| [00:55.00] | Because ridicule is no shame |
| [00:58.00] | Oh, it's just a way to eclipse hate |
| [01:02.00] | It's just a way to put my back straight |
| [01:06.00] | Oh, it's just a way to remain sane |
| [01:10.81] | Every morning I would see her getting |
| [01:13.04] | off the bus the picture never drops |
| [01:15.73] | it′s like a multicoloured snapshot stuck in my brain |
| [01:18.20] | it kept me sane for a couple of years |
| [01:23.37] | as it drenched my fears |
| [01:25.48] | of becoming like the others |
| [01:27.46] | who become unhappy mothers |
| [01:29.29] | and fathers of unhappy kids |
| [01:31.93] | And why is that? |
| [01:33.13] | ′Cause they′ve forgotten how to play |
| [01:36.03] | or maybe they′re afraid to feel ashamed |
| [01:40.04] | to seem strange |
| [01:41.87] | to seem insane |
| [01:43.63] | to gain weight |
| [01:44.70] | to seem gay |
| [01:45.91] | - I tell you this: |
| [01:48.48] | That it takes a fool to remain sane |
| [01:52.18] | Oh It takes a fool to remain sane |
| [01:56.13] | Oh It takes a fool to remain sane |
| [01:59.87] | Oh In this world all covered up in shame |
| [02:04.03] | (-Oh, take it to the stage!) |
| [02:20.11] | So, take it to the stage in a multicoloured |
| [02:23.63] | jacket take it jackpot, crackpot, |
| [02:26.17] | strutting like a peacock |
| [02:28.20] | nailvarnish Arkansas |
| [02:29.98] | shimmy-shammy featherboah crackpot haircut |
| [02:33.67] | dye your hair in glowing red and blue, |
| [02:36.44] | -Do, Do, Do! What you wanna do, Don′t think twice, |
| [02:39.91] | do what you have to do, |
| [02:43.80] | Do, Do, Do,Do, let your heart decide |
