The Only Sane One

There’s a boy chasing a girl Who keeps walking away She’s giving him clear signals He ignores them anyway There’s a loudmouth in the corner Making somebody small But the louder that he gets The less he says at all There’s a girl in a leather jacket With a satin lacy dress Looking for a rumble She fights with such finess Everybody’s got a habit Everybody’s got a style Everybody’s got a reason For acting strange awhile I’m the only sane one The only sane one I know Everybody’s got a strange little way Of stealing the show I’m the only sane one That’s what I keep telling me In a room full of oddballs I’m as normal as can be There’s a guy waiting for winter With a snowman in his head But he’s living in the desert Where the cactus grows instead There’s a guy with a saxophone Playing blues in a polka band [Brief accordion riff] Everybody’s turning circles He’s just trying to understand There’s a joker with a theory There’s a genius with a grin There’s somebody at the window Trying not to let them in Everybody’s got a secret Everybody’s got a spark Everybody’s got a shadow Doing dances in the dark I’m the only sane one The only sane one I know Everybody’s got a strange little way Of stealing the show I’m the only sane one That’s what I keep telling me In a room full of oddballs I’m as normal as can be They spin around They talk too loud They open doors They’re not allowed They make big plans They miss small clues They keep on dancing When they lose their shoes Now me, I keep it simple I keep my thinking clean I know every cartoon theme song That ever hit the screen From the first note to the close I can sing the parts between Even all the missing verses That nobody else has seen I know every hero entrance Every villain’s little sting If the credits start at midnight I can still jump in and sing I’m the only sane one The only sane one I know Everybody’s got a strange little way Of stealing the show I’m the only sane one That’s what I keep telling me In a room full of oddballs I’m as normal as can be The only sane one The only sane one I know In a room full of oddballs I’m as normal as can be
