Cover art for Deranged lyrics by Coheed and Cambria

Fixed the lyrics. The old ones were me playing it by ear before we had official lyrics for the song (and we had official lyrics for the song within hours of the song coming out) so I used the official lyrics to fix this up. For those who don't know, Coheed's official lyrics are NEVER the ones used in the actual song, but you can find them here http://childrenofthefence.tumblr.com/post/10210663711/deranged-lyrics

On that note, Claudio has stated the song is inspired by an Alan Moore comic book called "The Killing Joke" where the Joker attempts to drive commissioner Gordan insane and Batman tries to help Joker get out of his psychotic mindset.
