Beautifully Mad from Beautifully Mad by Beautifully Mad

Beautifully Mad © Tony King 2003
I’ve read the Bible
& the label on a bottle
I’ve tried getting angry and I’ve tried getting sad.
I found a good woman who deserved a lot better
She tried to repair me
Now she’s beautifully mad…

(Chorus)
‘Cause the world is no place for the sane.
But when you’re insane…it isn’t so bad.
It takes away the worst of your pain when you’re beautifully mad…

I tried to be rich
I tried being poor
I tried being peaceful..but it ended in War.
But my mind let me down..it was all that I had.
It’s a fine line between crazy and beautifully mad…

(Bridge)
Like a ship fit’s into a bottle…..How did we fit all that crazy love inside our hearts?

I followed the grass to see if it’s greener
It’s like following cows to see what they eat…
When you won’t be told..until Hades is cold
From the Jaws of victory you will snatch your defeat

(Chorus)
‘Cause the world is no place for the sane.
But when you’re insane…it isn’t so bad.
It takes away the worst of your pain when you’re beautifully mad…

The life that I tore along the perforated line
Was the life I regretted I had…
& the friends I will miss come the tunnel of light
are the ones who were beautifully mad

(Chorus)
‘Cause the world is no place for the sane.
But when you’re insane…it isn’t so bad.
It takes away the worst of your pain when you’re beautifully mad…
