A Courtship In Free Fall

I need a partner who understands the state of my madness
we need to connect on things that are all things insane
We need to walk into a room and control it on accident;
there should be an audience waiting for our names

You sound conceited but I like your style,
How long have you been looking?
Just be happy with what you have
the wind is howling and you're no leaf.

I'm tired of having control
I need a slice of chaos
Fill my soul with something rotten
Make me puke when I need to be full

WE are here to make the world burn around us,
I hope you know this lie.
Don't laugh! this is not a good thing.
You are a monkey in a cage to the worlds saline eye

YOU are the key to my cage!
Let them burn, while we go swimming...
This is wonder, not rage,
You are ecstasy in my eyes, it feels fitting. 

Maybe people aren't like you
Come out of your head and join us
maybe people don't like you
Your chaos is just booze and coitus

My friend Jack said that:
"The only people for me are the mad ones,
the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved,
desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn
or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like
fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars
and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop, and everybody goes "Aww!"
Is this my flaw?

Oh how romantic of you, you truly have a way with words
I fear I'm not enough for you, I'm regular, I'm plain
I'd call you troubled but thats more than you deserve
You call me mad, but the world calls me sane

I ride alone in a clown car,
What a waste of space,
I'll be circling while you sit in park,
Thats me, the romantic basket case.
