Ellen Foley - Madness lyrics

Some go mad from sex and drugs
Some from unrequited love
Some go crazy from rock and roll
But, you’re born with madness in your soul

We all live on a mighty thin line
When you think you’ve lost your mind
You might call it insanity
I call it being all that you can be

Some say madness will start in your brain
And spread through your body
Like a runaway train
Some go mad around the hips and torso
But when you’re mad you’re just you
Only more so
We all live on a mighty thin line
When you think you’ve lost your mind
You might call it insanity
I call it being all that you can be

All it takes is a little bitty nudge
Even if you think you’re sober as a judge
You’re already more than halfway crazy
Just waiting to go oopsy daisy

Some go mad by slow degrees
Till one day they’re shooting
Up the Tastee Freeze
Some go mad behind the wheel of a car
And some never figure out how crazy they are

We all live on a mighty thin line
When you think you’ve lost your mind
You might call it insanity
I call it being all that you can be
