The Lunatic Fringe

The lunatic
                  fringe
has become
                    unhinged
oh me oh my
                      is it I
I live on the
                   fringe
but don't
               infringe
live with the
                    flow
let it 
       go
oh me oh my
                      is it I      
I live on the
                   fringe
I may be
              unhinged
I prefer to 
                spend
time with imaginary 
                                 friends
please go 
                away
don't spoil my
                       day
with your reality
                           shivaree
