The
sun comes up and I fall down
A new day is just beginning
I gotta find a way to leave behind
Your face maniacally grinning
City haze and morning grace
Belief is just a password
People are talking and they don't make sense
But I don't know if you've heard
Sanity's a state of mind.
Seconds move on out of sync
Time and rhythm defeated
Your presence here a cause for grief
But there's no way it's admitted
The Hills of Rome are afire again
And the streets are cool to the touch
There's darkening screams in the light
But I guess you knew as much
Sanity's a state of mind
I
look through the mirror into the other side
The land of Alice and Queens
The Cheshire Cat smiles its maniacal grin
Yet it's your face that I see
Black and white movies say it all, colour films say nothing
The politicians reach is out of bounds
Yet elections are won by bluffing
Can someone tell me, am I the reflection?
Sanity's a state of mind.
Your
face is here all around
In everything that I see
That maniacal grin drags me down
Why can't you let me be?
The dance has ended the day is done
Though life is slow returning
You smile the grin of a maniacal clown
The fire of Rome still burning
Reflections pass of future glances
Your face fills my sight
You're my eternal partner of solo dances
And daylight dreams in the night
I stand up as the sun goes down
Yet our grin isn't fading
Unfocussed people staring around
But isn't that what we're saying?
Sanity's a state of mind.
Yeah.
Sanity's a state of mind.
