Analysis of Losing grip with reality
Driving along in a bar of soap
Slip sliding about can't give up hope
Doing sixty trying to lose despair
Driving along in a barbers chair
Walking the dog in a quiet country lane
Cyanide and happiness have gone insane
What was a fragile imagination going to do
Make up poetry to give to you, oh pooh pooh
