What mania feels like to me sometimes
Catch Me If You Can

Yellow rays caress my skin
Heat wakes me from a restless slumber
Feet hit the floor, something is different
Today nothing will bring me asunder

This dawn I feel light on my feet
My body does not protest this morn
For once, a smile, across my face
I am happy to have been born

Senses attuned with nature
With dilated eyes, I see beauty so strange
Reds encircled with fogs of fuchsia
Everything around me has changed

Skin tingles to the slightest touch
Blood tickles as it courses through my veins
Nose stings from the aroma of flowers
Bubbly aspirations implode upon my brain

Clothes mismatched and colorful
Everyone's necks turn and bend
Colorful hues of makeup smeared on
So I can charm the men

Thoughts in my head are racing too fast
Unrelenting words roll across my flapping tongue
No logical sense to be heard
Talking about anything under the sun

"Hello. What is your name?"
"I just love your hat."
"Have you heard what Jesus said?"
"Oh my, look at the pretty kitty cat."

Elated to unimaginable heights
Euphoric high now causing delusions
Don't bother to tell me out of concern
I'll only argue it's your illusion

It's time to run fast and far
Hide from any concerned man
So I can relish my unknown insanity
Catch me if you can
