sanitysmith

The sanitysmith swings
And his anvil sings
And sanity is made
For everyone.

Clang!
        Now you know love!
Clang!
        Now you know war!
Clang!
        Now you know airplanes!

We went to see him, 
You and I,
To marvel at his mighty forge
To wonder at the power
of his strong right arm.

Clang!
        Now you know fear!
Clang!
        Now you know bliss!
Clang!
        Now you know money!

We stood together,
You and I,
Felt sparks of lunacy
Fall over us
Like pollen-rain

Clang!
        Now you know dark!
Clang!
        Now you know touch!
Clang!
        Now you know language!

The sanitysmith sings
And his anvil rings
And sanity is made
For everyone.
