Inspired Insanity

(album: Second Childhood - 1976)

Help yourself to my new clothes
Borrow some of my daydreams, too
A few of them came true
In color, too

What's that picture in your frame of mind?
Is it something I can help you find?
Oh, the stories I could tell
But you don't listen well, my friend
You ain't talked to me of late
But don't you worry, I can wait again

Come visit me
Inspired insanity
Come visit me
Inspired insanity

You're like my second childhood
Complete with all the mistakes I've made
A party's overstayed
That's our charade

One man's high is just another's waste
I'm only preaching 'cause I've had my taste
You can call me up
When I call you, don't hang up the phone
If something scares you in the mirror
I will know that you're alone

Come visit me
Inspired insanity
Come visit me
Inspired insanity

While I'm speaking, I lose you
Others pry at your keyhole here
You told me you don't care
But you've changed your hair

I feel pretty stubborn today
I shrug my shoulders and I stay, I stay
Logic doesn't work
Neither would a magic wand
If I turned and walked, right now
Would you notice I had gone?

But, if you are free
Come and visit me
Come visit me
Inspired insanity
