Tempting sanity

Tempting sanity
Worn like a glove
Tempting sanity
In the bedroom
Tempting sanity
We are so in love
Tempting sanity
The Raven and the Dove

My hood and cape is never on right
Even with the purifying of Randal
A loose Cow
A rubber wand
An intravenous razor
All taking aim at the rich boys

Tempting sanity
Death is a cheat
Tempting sanity
Life is content
Tempting sanity
Winter to blow ice
Tempting sanity
disrupt your lament

The planks redefine everything
In light of all that has passed
A stray dog
A plastic fork
An umbrella scalpel
All aiming high at the rich boys

Should I jump passport
Too a loveless isle
By slowly tempting sanity

Will I be lonesome
In a woven cage
By slowly tempting sanity

From needles and pins
Should I feel glory
By slowly tempting sanity

The blood red sky
Is raining over me
By slowly tempting sanity


The above song was written in 2003 and is part of a selection of songs that form a set of musical material all with inter weaving themes such as sanity, temptation, isolation, and freedom.

A mix of surreal lyrics and a tiny amount of cut-up add to the feel of tempting a persons sanity within the song.
