O' Sanity
Yoko Ono · Other Songs - Yoko Ono
Mm, dum, doo, da-da, dum.
It's only sane to be insane,
Psychotic builds a castle and neurotic lives in it.
I don't know what to do with my sanity
When the world's at a verge of calamity.
O' sanity, o' sanity,
What am I to do with you?
Drink up, shoot up, anything you please
But she's always standing behind me like a devil in hell.
O' sanity, o' sanity,
Why don't you let me go?
Let go, let go,
Cut it out!
