We're up on the shelves We're reading ourselves We're biding the time while you play your games We're yearning for love A word from above Your fingers caressing our authors names We stand side by side Against the tide Shoulder to shoulder and upright You seemed so concerned When our family was burnt By people provoked by a single man There's so much you've learned From the pages you turned We don't really mind that was way back when We know you're benign So send us a sign Come crawling out of your wasteland Are you out of your mind Are you out of your mind There's poems and prose And comfort for those Who're looking for shelter in fantasies There's comics and science Some mistaken lines Some heroes from fine ancient tragedies There's motives and means To discard your screens And broaden your faltered horizon Are you out of your mind Are you Are you out of your mind Are you out of your mind Out of your mind Are you Are you out of your mind Out of your mind
