every morning I would see her getting off the bus
the picture never drops it's like a multicoloured snapshot
stuck in my brain it kept me sane
for a couple of years as it drenched my fears
of becoming like the others
who become unhappy mothers
and fathers of unhappy kids
and why is that?
'cause they've forgotten how to play
or maybe they're afraid to feel ashamed
to seem strange, to seem insane
to gain weight, to seem gay
I tell you this:

that it takes a fool to remain sane in this world all covered up in shame.
