Sanity Slippage Song/Quotes

"This kettle is boiling over
I think I'm a banana tree"

—Queen, "I'm Going Slightly Mad"

"No, I've never been insane
Ah, what's the game?"
I believe I'm dying!"

—Supertramp, "Asylum"

The world has gone insane,
And parasites are eating at my brain,
And nothing is the way it was before,
A pack o' wolves is howling at my door,
I'm living in a non-stop nightmare,
Dead men's dreams,
Filled with screaming pain,
Hurling me to mad extremes
In a world that's gone insane.

—Jekyll and Hyde

Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees and
Begged you not to leave because
I'd go berserk

—Napoleon XIV, "They're Coming To Take Me Away Ha Ha"

The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade, you make the change
You re-arrange me 'till I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head but it's not me.

—Pink Floyd, "Brain Damage"

Unusual and bizarre,
I have gone much too far.
Not my fault my thoughts are out of the norm
I am not right in the head,
Nowhere near a full deck,
Maybe my parade is led slightly off-beat?

—Rufus Rex, "Personal Demons"
